Hello,
I've designed a preliminary plan calling for 21' tall walls on 3 sides. Intuitively knowing standard 2X6's wouldn't span 21' I've used the iLevel software and am using 2X8 LSL studs. My concern is racking during wind and I was wondering up to what height is this wall bracing section of the code good for ...

I was focusing on system '3' as it's pretty much what would be done anyway but this 21' foot thing has me on edge and I'm not certain this section of the code recognizes these heights. Any help would be appreciated.
