Many newer houses have 2 by 6 wall studs either 16 or 24 inches on center to make exterior walls stronger and create a larger cavity for wall insulation. They can either be screwed into the two plates with the screws at an angle side fixing or as shown in the diagram below a noggin can be inserted between the studs. The second stud must be positioned so that its centre is 600mm from the wall and the third stud centre is at 1200mm from the wall with 600mm centres thereafter.
It allows you to divide one large room into smaller sections accommodating an extra bedroom office playroom and much more.
