I'm modeling up my house design in 3D CAD and am at sticking point on something very basic.
I'm building 2X6 exterior walls and wondering what the exact stud placement should be. I know that I want 16" centers however I cannot get them to line up for both the interior drywall and exterior sheathing. Which takes precedence for the 16" OC? The interior drywall or the exterior sheathing? It's impossible to have it for both due to building corners?
I looked for a beginners guide to framing online but can't find one. Probably this is answered in some framing books somewhere...
I guess my thought is drywall takes precedence to minimize seams, and to start the sheathing with an overhang and hope the cutoff can be used elsewhere? See image below:
