Cold Form truss/rafters to CMU wall

[mtldesigns]

Looking for guidance here on the subject at hand.  I've done metal "stick" framed builds before, where I use R804 as my go-by.  But in this case, I have a CMU exterior wall that I need to bring these truss and rafters too.  Do you embed a plate on the top course, or bolt down a track to that top course (open end down) then proceed as normal.

We use truss on top of the block with Simpson META16 usually. HETA16 for higher loads & 2 each for girders.

The trusses come with a pre attached galvanized strip so the wood does not bear on the concrete.

BTW if the installers missed the location use MSTM16 for the repair

I think I forgot to mention the trussed and rafters were metal.  But this is the same concept as you shown.
