- Field studs only — add studs for corners, wall intersections, and rough openings.
- 16" o.c. is the common default; check stud size vs. wall height (IRC R602.3).
A reference, not a finder
Detecting studs through a web browser isn't possible — phones lack a reliable way to sense framing from a web page. This is a layout reference: it estimates field studs for a wall length at 16" or 24" on-center. It counts a stud at each bay boundary (both ends) and excludes corners, partition intersections, and rough openings.
Stud size versus wall height versus spacing is governed by IRC R602.3, and 24" o.c. typically calls for 5/8" gypsum board to prevent sag.
