Overlapping Wall Studs / Floor Joists

Problem

The system always maintains a fixed spacing between lumbers, which can result in overlap at the ends of the wall/floor/ceiling. This specifically applies to the last and second-to-last beams of the wall/floor/ceiling.

Verification

Ensure that the visualization displays lumber without overlapping.

Solutions

1. If possible, increase the wall dimension.

2. When ordering wood, order one lumber less. During construction, do not install the second-to-last lumber that was overlapping in the visualization. Remember that the distance between the new second-to-last lumber and the last lumber will be larger, which will require placing insulation in a non-standard way.

3. When assembling the wall, move it to the center, i.e., between the last and the second-to-last lumber. In this case, you will also place insulation in a non-standard way.
