In the process of putting up an inner wall and have torn down some, so what exists is an upper and lower stud and a load-bearing stud on each side.

Now it happens that NONE of these studs align with each other; they "point" in slightly different directions. The wall is 340cm long and the difference is about 3-4 cm. The idea is that I'll set up my "stud frame" in a "suitable" way against the existing structure since there are no given reference points.

The question is, how much should I work to get right angles against the other walls? Does it matter (meaning can one ever notice without measuring) that there is a 3-4 cm difference on a 340cm wall? We're talking about approximately +- ½ degree, so is it something to worry about?

It's not like I plan to furnish with a square in the corners ;)
 
The most important thing, I think, is to get the inner wall vertical.

One thing I have learned when it comes to renovation or remodeling is not to worry too much about small misalignments. What looks completely messed up when you're measuring often doesn't show at all when the job is finished. I agree with the previous speaker: Just make sure the path is plumb.

Yes, it does look a bit funny when the paintings tilt outward at the bottom. :)

On the other hand, it is the cheapest method for self-closing doors.
