Figure 1-40.—First exterior wall stud layout. Figure  1-41.—Second  exterior  wall  stud  layout. Horizontal  Plate  Layout After all the lines are snapped, the wall plates are cut and tacked next to the lines (fig. 1-38). The plates are then marked off for corner posts and regular studs, as well as for the studs, trimmers, and cripples for the rough  openings.  All  framing  members  must  be  clearly marked on the plates. This allows for efficient and error-free  framing.  Figure  1-37  shows  a  wall  with framing members nailed in place according to layout markings. A  procedure  for  marking  outside  and  inside  comers for stud-and-block corner post construction is shown in figure 1-39. For laying out studs for the first exterior wall, see figure 1-40. In figure 1-40, the plates are marked for the first stud from a corner to be placed 15 1/4 inches from the end of the turner. Studs after the first stud follow 16 inches OC layout. This ensures the edges of  standard-size  panels  used  for  sheathing  or  wallboard fall on the centers of the studs. Cripples are laid out to follow the layout of the studs. A procedure for laying out studs for the second exterior wall is shown in figure 1-41. The plates are 1-23
