What do the little red diamond markings on a tape measure or rule signify?
If the marks are at 16 inches, 32 inches, 48 inches, etcetera, those are the distances studs in a wall are supposed to be apart, measured from the center of one stud to the center of the next one. Wall studs are the vertical pieces of wood which the sheetrock is nailed to. I think the marks indicate 1/2 meter increments.

How many 2 x 4 studs do you need for a room that is 16 x 16?
Studs are normally on 16 inch centerlines, so, with 16 feet being 192 inches, you would need 12 plus 1 (for the starting stud) plus 2 (for the top and bottom plates) per wall. That is 15 studs per wall. Multiply that by 4 and you get 60 studs for the room. This doing not count framing for doors and windows, nor does it count studs for the floor and ceiling. If you get 16 foot studs, you can use 8 for the caps, leaving you needing 52 studs that are 8 foot long, so you would need 26 16 foot studs to make the 52 8 foot studs. The total required studs, then, is 34 16 foot studs.

What is correct spacing for framing of studs?
The correct spacing for framing studs in a wall is typically 16 inches apart on center. This means measuring from the center of one stud to the center of the next. However, in some cases, spacing can be adjusted to 24 inches apart depending on the load bearing requirements of the wall.
When do you use 12 inch spacing for stud walls?
One of the main reasons to use studs 12" on-center would be because of the load they are carrying. If an unusually high load is placed on the wall, that could be a reason. Another could be a high or tall wall that it exposed to wind loads. A wall such as that may need close spacing to comply with building code. Studs should be spaced 16 inches apart on center. Because of the dimensions of the sheeting, the first stud should be placed 15 1/4 inches from the end. This ensures that the sheeting will land exactly in the center of the fourth stud. Some studs can be spaced 24 inches apart if the wall will not be load bearing. Twelve inch spacings (to centers )is used for additional support around door ways if there is reason to believe that there walk way will be have high traffic, if the wall is an outside facing elevation where whether conditions could impact on the structure and some use 12in centers near windows to provide a more stable structure. - In general building codes for your area and/or country will be required to be followed as codes are not international.

How do you measure the stud pattern on a car?
What your after is how far apart the studs are apart,? generally 100mm or 114.3mm(4.5inches) its simply just how spaced out the 'circle' that the studs sit on.If the stud pattern is a 4 x 120 it means it has four studs (holes) on a 120mm PCD (pitch circle diameter, circle that the holes are equally spaced on). If you measure the greatest distance apart on a four or even numbered stud pattern this will give you the diameter. If measuring a 5 or odd number pattern you need to measure the distance from center of wheel to center of stud. This will give you radius then multiply by 2 to get the PCD (diameter).Example Say you had 5 studs and the radius was 62.5mm, X 2 = 125mm. Then the stud pattern would be a 5 x 125.
