StudBay Frame

StudBay Frame Studio turns rough wall measurements into a clear stud, opening, and sheathing cut plan in seconds—offline, visual, and built for real lumber runs. Made for remodel DIYers, carpentry apprentices, trade-school cohorts, and small framing crews who need operational carpentry math on the shop floor. Not a jobsite diary, not code certification, and not a 3D craft sandbox—just a fast wall-framing geometry workbench you can use without an account or a network. LIVE WALL WORKBENCH Set wall length and plate-to-plate height, lock stud on-center spacing (16" or 24" OC), choose imperial or metric units, and toggle single or double top plate plus end-stud rules. The workbench instantly recounts common, king, jack, and cripple studs as you edit. ROUGH-OPENING COMPOSER Place doors and windows with RO width and height, sill and header elevation, king/jack pairs, and cripple rows above and below. Header length auto-fills from the opening span so your cut list stays aligned with the elevation. SEED OPENING CATALOG Start from passage 2/6–3/0, bifold, slider, egress window, picture window, and pony-wall presets with standard RO notes for learning. Presets are educational references—not code stamps—so you can adjust every dimension to match your job. MATERIALS CUT SUMMARY Get plate lineal feet, stud pieces by role, header stock suggestions by opening span, estimated board-feet, and 4×8 sheathing sheet counts with a waste factor. Share a plain-text cut summary through the system share sheet when you are ready to cut. ELEVATION SCHEMATIC Review a 2D stud-bay strip with opening cutouts, OC tick marks, dimension callouts, and invalid-overlap warnings. Tap a bay to edit without leaving the schematic. SPACING SCENARIO COMPARE Duplicate a wall and flip 16" vs 24" OC to contrast stud count, sheathing edges, and opening jack loads side-by-side before you commit lumber. CORNERS & INTERSECTIONS Toggle shared corner packs and partition T-intersection studs without leaving the workbench so extras land in the same cut plan. PROJECT DRAFTS HUB Name, duplicate, archive, and reopen full wall drafts with opening sets via local storage. Work stays on-device—no sign-in required. FRAMING LITERACY GLOSSARY Offline illustrated cards cover plates, headers, jacks, cripples, RO vs unit size, and sheathing edge backing—handy for apprentices and trade-school cohorts. SETTINGS THAT STAY OUT OF THE WAY Units, theme, density, restore seed catalog, plus in-app Privacy Policy and Terms reachable offline. Whether you are checking a remodel wall, teaching OC layout, or prepping a small crew’s lumber run, StudBay Frame Studio resolves the geometry so you can cut with confidence.
