Studs needed

Plate footage (3 plates)

Stud count is a straight-line estimate (wall length / spacing, plus one) and doesn't add extra studs for corners, T-intersections, or window and door openings - add those in separately based on the actual layout. Plate footage assumes a standard double top plate plus single bottom plate (3 total) at the wall's full length.
