Aus der Beschreibung der Absteckfunktion eines Laserdistanzmessgerätes:

The new stake-out-function facilitates the measuring of constant interspaces, e.g. for the placement of *drywall studs*. After entering the required interspace, the measurement can be started with the DIST-key.

Ich komme einfach nicht dahinter, was mit diesen *drywall studs" gemeint ist. Kennt jemand den Begriff? Danke für Vorschläge.

Explanation:
drywall are these 4 ft by 8 ft (?) sections of some sort of dry material (gypsum?) that is used to form the interior walls in most homes here. These are hammered to wood framing. The vertical wood framing pieces are called studs.

Here, the spacing is 16 inches as standard. This allows people to hang pictures once they have located one of the studs.

So, studs are the wood pieces, drywall is the flat gypsum panels used to cover the framing..
