Q4.5: Can components of the damping devices, such as pins to connect the devices to the tower, exceed the outer footprint of the building or does the entire assembly need to be constrained within the dimensions provided in Figure 12 of the 2022 Design Guide?

A: Components of damping devices such as pins and connections are not permitted to exceed the outer footprint of the building.  Maximum floor plan dimensions will be checked with templates passed over the structure per Section 5.6.d of the Official Rules.  Violations will be incurred if the template cannot freely pass over any floors; this includes floors with damping devices.
