Jim, A very nice example. Thanks!!!

On corner posts the racking effect can better be transmitted by truely long braces ( ca. 2/3-3/4 post height) otherwise the post holds the load above the brace. This is not always pactical in middle bents (except lenght wise along the sills) as the braces would extend into the structure's interior (O.K. if thats going to be an interior wall...) and complicates joinery by requiring a halflap at any bents inersected. Still it is a feature many ignore as a way to make a building more immune to racking.
