1. A track mounting system comprising:
a partition support structure mounting track comprising a base and first and second side flanges which extend from the base and cooperate to define a channel therebetween, the track being elongate such that the track extends along a longitudinal axis, and the track comprising an alignment feature located at a predetermined alignment position along the longitudinal axis of the track on at least one of the first side flange, the second side flange and the base, the alignment feature configured to secure a partition support member at the alignment position such that the partition support member is received by the track in an assembled configuration, and the alignment feature comprising one of a projection or recess configured to engage with the other of a projection or recess of the partition support member, wherein the partition support member is configured support a partition, and wherein the partition is a wall such that the partition support member is a wall element support member;
wherein the track defines said channel extending along the longitudinal axis, wherein the alignment feature is configured to secure the partition support member at the alignment position in the assembled configuration, the track further comprising a discrete visible marker, which is a separate feature to the alignment feature, the visible marker being located at a predetermined marker position along the longitudinal axis of the track, said visible marker being configured for aligning, using an alignment tool, with a further visible marker of a further track, identical to said track, spaced vertically or laterally from the track, to thereby align the track with said further track.
