Advanced Framing for Energy Efficient Garage Workshop. Lots of help during this phase of construction. Our framing is 24 inches on center, 2x6. The sheathing is 23/32 OSB with a tongue and groove. That thickness really helps when spanning the stud distance. The trusses have a 6:12 pitch. The top cord extends out to the overhang giving us about 16 inches of depth at the exterior wall sheathing. This is a type of "raised heel" to allow for lots of insulation in the attic. That thick wall sheathing over studs spaced 24" on center makes for a more solid wall. I like these walls more than my house walls, and I framed those (outer walls) 16" on center with 1/2" Plywood. Thank you everyone who helped out.
