Staggered Stud Wall - 2x4 studs, 2x6 plate?

[solver 1578]

Is it possible to define a staggered stud wall using 2x4 studs and 2x6 plates?

 

I've searched and cannot see how to define plate width independently.

Best that I can think of is to just to create 2 main layers at 2.75", set the Structure settings to Stagger Multiple Framing Layers, Build Framing, then group select the studs and change to 3-1/2". You would then need to re-align the studs though. I'm sure there's probably a better way... that's just what comes to mind right now. I'll keep thinking on it and let you know if I come up with anything else.

I have done it using 2x8 plates.   There are some things that dont work perfect, but I never build my framing models perfect anyway.   Really for 2x6 I would just add a detail sheet that I would draw.   Here is one I did for my 2x8 plate.
