Is there any major disadvantage to offsetting every other nogging ~40 mm in height in an outer wall to make it easier to shoot them into place?

It depends on what the kortlingar are used for. If you're using them as a fastening for something you're going to nail into them, it could be a problem. This could also apply to the interior in the future. However, you can keep track of this if you document it. Bearing-wise, no. They don't serve any function in the frame anyway. The forces are absorbed vertically and lateral loads and shear from wind are absorbed by the panel action when plasterboard/OSB is installed on the inside.
 
Thank you.
Nix, nothing to be fastened but I want them for stability as I'm building the frame parts lying down and then erecting them.

Ignore the noggings completely.
A lot of unnecessary work (both difficult to install and difficult to insulate afterward), and it costs a lot of energy in heating later.

If you want stability for the sections, nail a board across the diagonal on the built frame element. You then remove the board before you continue with paneling or installing drywall inside (depending on whether the board is on the exterior or interior).

If you are not going to use them for anything, then you definitely should not build thermal bridges into the outer wall.
 
Thank you!

Hmm, it's probably me being a little cowardly and not daring to remove the kortlingar.... need to rethink, a lot of work to save.

If I put a diagonal brace on the inside, it will need to be removed when the outside is completely finished, roof + panel.
Do I need any extra bracing before I get the OSB on? I will be adding internal 45 studs to run the electricity completely within the vapor barrier, so it will stand without OSB for a while.
 
Now the kortlingar have been phased out. Thanks for the input!
