摘要

-24- A framing template for use in the framing of building structures. The template has a plurality of groups of printed measuring indicias. These groups of indicias are disposed at predetermined intervals from one another and have a center marking and associated side markings. The markings of each group may be numbered or colored markings or have shaped symbols indicative of repetitive measures from a starting point as well as cumulative measures. The markings are readable regardless if the template is secured on a horizontal or a vertical surface of a building component to indicates the location of building components. In another broad aspect the present invention contemplates a measuring template which is permanently affixed, such as with printing, on building materials requiring measurements for integrating into a building structure.
