do you set both on edge, and offset them by half a board width in relation to each other?

I was thinking of having 2.70 in height, there are gypsum boards that fit this, what do you do with the osb/plywood board?

If you have horizontal studs (cross-battened 45x45), it's probably best to lay the OSB horizontally, then you'll need to rip strips for the last part of the wall. The gypsum should then be vertical on the outside, making sure that no OSB seam and gypsum seam are too close to each other. I believe that with this method, you also avoid the need for upright studs where the OSB boards meet. However, I would drive a few drywall screws through the gypsum board into the OSB roughly where the OSB seams are, so the different boards effectively lock each other's seams.

With vertical studs, I would do as you describe; here too, you'll need to rip strips to fill at the top near the ceiling.

Remember to leave a couple of mm of movement allowance for the OSB boards. Do not place them completely tight against each other as they may expand slightly due to temperature and humidity.

Snailman, you seem to be getting close to the construction start now? Or am I completely wrong? :o

If so, do you have a thread or website where you show how it's progressing...?

No, not close yet, at least a good half-year away, but I've started putting the house into solidworks and noticed that you have to solve all the problems there...:D so maybe it can be a bit more efficient in reality later.

I need to know what the house looks like in order to make the building permit drawings as well. And they might be needed earlier, I expect to get a plot within six months, and only then can I submit something... I think they're supposed to build the roads to the area this winter. I'll post some pictures from solidworks when I've made a bit more progress... I've made a truss and am working on two long sides and a gable.

Oh yes, it must be quite beneficial to visualize such things in detail, so you don't stand scratching your head when you really don't have time for it. :D

I'm keeping my eyes open, it will be exciting...

okay the outer walls will have horizontal 45x45 studs, so there it will have to be horizontal oxb, but the inner walls will have vertical studs, so there it will have to be vertical boards overlapping with the drywall
 
Now I'm interested. I Googled Solidworks.
Is there any good free software to calculate material usage, etc.
We are not building new but just adding a little. But it would be fun to calculate it a bit more professionally.
