Abstract
A method of stud positioning for wall building, comprises: lining a stud gap marker tape along a plate, the stud gap marker tape comprising a plurality of gap marks, visible on a top side of the tape, that define stud positions at repeating 8-inch intervals that may or may not be used for positioning a stud at, a centre of one of the stud positions being at a start of the plate, the stud gap marker tape thus being configured to facilitate both: stud positioning at each 16-inch interval taken from the start of the plate via using an interval of two said gap marks as a guide for stud positioning; and stud positioning at each 24-inch interval taken from the start of the plate via using an interval of three said gap marks as a guide for stud positioning.

A method of stud positioning for wall building, comprising:
- lining a stud gap marker tape along a plate, the stud gap marker tape comprising a plurality of gap marks, visible on a top side of the tape, that define stud positions at repeating 8-inch intervals that may or may not be used for positioning a stud at, a centre of one of the stud positions being at a start of the plate, the stud gap marker tape thus being configured to facilitate both;
- stud positioning at each 16-inch interval taken from the start of the plate via using an interval of two said gap marks as a guide for stud positioning;
- and
- stud positioning at each 24-inch interval taken from the start of the plate via using an interval of three said gap marks as a guide for stud positioning;
- and
- using an interval of two said gap marks as a guide for stud positioning, positioning a stud, centred, at each 16-inch interval taken from the start of the plate that occurs between the start of the plate and an end of the plate, not including where stud positioning would encroach on position of an end stud positioned at the end of the plate.
