Answer from an amateur who has to assemble a hip rafter almost single-handedly. I've already fixed the wall batten. I have studied roofing knots for a long time. On fixing wall plates to the studs, the conclusions are as follows. Usually a diameter of 12 meters is enough in all cases (even with the spacer rafters.) I connect mauerlats without nailing, simply docking closely. In addition to the studs accidentally bought with a surplus. Therefore, install them half a meter apart and cut the bar everywhere so that the distance to the free end of the wall plate from the last stud is always no more than 25cm.
