may some could explayn the truss markings (black diamonds, on my tape) every 19.2 inches and the stud marking (balck triangles) every 16 inches, as far as I know there are 5 truss markings or 6 stud markings in an 8-foot width... Markus Schulz 03/23/06 09:44:54 EST

I included a mention of those diamonds, even though I don't know much about them. I put a link to a page that does know, so at least an interested reader can follow that. --MathBV 00:03, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
