I have a use case where I want to build a wall on new construction. Inevitably, the foundation pours are not perfectly level.Â* Over long runs, they can be off several inches.Â* So, I want to build the wall to the sill plate with studs of different lengths to account for
this so that the top of the wall *is* level.Â* Because of the long
horizontal runs involved, I want to keep the accuracy of the cuts to
1/16 or even 1/32 (to avoid accumulation error).

Ideas?

Now you can mark a level line across all those studs, using whatever
method is at your disposal.Â* A laser level, a water level, whatever.
