If you are building a garage how can you fix it without starting over if you are to the point that the trusses should go up but the frame is out of square?
First, if you have not installed the wall sheating you should be able to force your framing back to square with the use of tempory bracing.Bracing should be used to keep framing square and plumb.It should be install on the interior as to allow the wall sheathing to be installed with bracing in place.I suggest plywood sheathing at least on all corners. This helps keep the framing square and plumb. Do not remove any bracing until all wall sheathing,trusses and roof sheathing have been installed.This is very important as the structure could collapse with out it.Also the trusses will need to be cross braced as they go up.

There should be studs around the window opening so you would be doing both. If you are asking when to do it, the windows go on top of the sheathing.

The best way to find the length of the rafters in a ceiling is to go up into the attic. Once a person is in their attic, they should be able to see the rafters and can take a tape measure to find the length of them.
