Perimeter Seismic Braces

How do you treat Perimeter Seismic Braces in a high rise building when drawing up the Gross Measured Area? Do you treat it like a column or to do go around it like a wall?

Hello Sopheap,

Columns or other building support systems that protrude inward are ignored.

Thanks,
