Not according to the Cubby plans:
What you do is notch out your interior 1/8 skin, with a knife/blade, to pass the ends of the spars through. Those ends then butt flush against the exterior walls--where you screw from the outside of the exterior wall into the end of the spar. (I think you glue toom but I don't remember.)
Those spars don't touch the framing at all--and thank God I'm using a paneling skin and not aluminum, so I DON'T have to countersink all of those screw holes.
I don't have the plans in front of me right now, but I'm 99% sure this is the way, that they're not stucturally attached to the wall framing at all.
