wrldtvlr Posted Friday at 01:38 PM Share Posted Friday at 01:38 PM Creating a simple garage design as a self tutorial and came across a framing question. At the ends of an exterior wall the turned stud for drywall mounting is different. On the right CA does a single stud. On the left, there's a double stud. Why?

wrldtvlr Posted Friday at 02:06 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 02:06 PM After a little research, it appears what I'm seeing is a three stud corner vs four stud corner. I understand the four stud corner allow drywall to be mounted with nails rather than screws, but i'm not that concerned about that. I guess the question is why does CA show both types or corners on a single wall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the four stud corner allow drywall to be mounted with nails rather than screws, but i'm not that concerned about that. I guess the question is why does CA show both types or corners on a single wall? The cause for the 4-stud corning is due to how the studs in that wall were rolled out. One of the studs created while rolling them out landed within the corner of the wall. When this happens, we rotate the stud to make the 4-stud corner, that way there's still a surface on center, despite there not being enough space for the non-rotated stud. There's a couple of options you have to change this behavior: You can change your Wall Connection style for Wall Corners to "Reduced" within the Automatic Framing Defaults Dialog, within the Wall panel. This will prevent the nailer stud from being generated, allowing the problematic corner stud to fit within the wall without needing to rotate. You can change where your stud rollout begins by either using a Framing Reference Point or the Stud Layout settings within the Wall's specification dialog, under its Structure panel. By adjusting the stud rollout, you can move where these studs get built, moving that stud out of the corner so it can fit in the wall without being rotated. You could manually delete the stud, however this would require you to turn off Automatic Wall Framing Hopefully that helps! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
