Abstract: A stud template (10) which comprises a generally rectangular elongate flat blade (12) sized to cover the width of a plurality of side by side sole plates (14) before installation. An elongate T-shaped member (16) is integrally formed along one long side of the flat blade (12). The T-shaped member (16) can engage a longitudinal edge of one of the outermost sole plates (14). A facility (18) is for repetitively marking a series of stud location stations along the length of the sole plates (14) simultaneously. When the sole plates (14) are installed in a wall frame of a building (20), studs (22) can be erected upon the stud location stations on the sole plates (14) quickly and without error.
