Obviously, the studs may take a bit of load
as the truss deflects, but a little bit of support mid-truss will be
very good at reducing the truss deflection. You don't need to worry
about the studs buckling. You are right that, in theory, you might get a
bit of bowing in any studs which are tight up against the bottom of the
truss. But it won't be significant (unless the build is really cocked up).


Your biggest problem will be if they lift the stud walls from the
floors. I don't fully understand why that happens but I have heard of
it happening.


OK All. I was just curious. Future proofing and ease of calculation
seems the most likely scenario.
