Hello, I've been looking for examples of walls where metal studs are "offset" for pipe runs or other obstacles, but haven't found any good examples of how to do it. I've torn down a wooden wall in the basement and plan to build a new one with metal studs. It looks super easy from floor to ceiling, but I've never seen examples where you build with metal studs and have to offset for obstacles. It's always just from floor to ceiling. How do you do it?
If it is not supportive, you can do as you wish, but what does "växla av" mean? Do you have a picture?
No, not a load-bearing wall. But there are pipes there that I probably want to keep in the wall. Metal studs usually have a track in the ceiling and one on the floor, and then you position the studs in between. Now these pipes are about at waist height, which means I need studs up to the pipes and from the ceiling down to the pipes. With wood, you can adjust that. I would prefer to have metal studs in the basement, but I haven't seen any pictures of how to handle obstacles with metal studs. Usually, it's just with tracks in the floor and ceiling and then studs in between. Can these tracks be attached to side walls with brackets maybe?
Unfortunately, I don't have a picture right now.

. Finally some visual support. Just what I've been looking for. So it's the top and bottom pieces, that sit horizontally in the middle of the wall? Then I can start next week. Thanks
