Log House Design

Log House Design is an add-on feature of the Vertex BD software.

Add log walls just like other walls by using the Modeling | Wall Layout | Wall function.

Adding a Log Wall

Add log walls to the drawing-model pair of the first floor in full height. When you design the second floor, reflect the walls to the drawing-model pair of the second floor where you will add the windows, doors and other components. This way the components are placed at the correct height. When you change the type of a log wall, the change will also be refreshed in the log wall's reflected geometry (this concerns only log walls).

You can select log wall functions from the contextual Log Wall tab when a log wall is selected, or from the Log Wall Layout tab when a log work drawing is open.

You can still enhance the Log House Design add-on feature with the Log House Work Drawings add-on feature.

Log House Work Drawings

Note

  • Set the horizontal and vertical tolerances of openings to zero in the project parameters when designing a log house. The installation spaces of openings in a log house are read from the LOGHOUSE setup file.
  • Working with the model is faster, when you select the wall height so that there are not more than 2 extra logs above the roof.
  • Before you add a roof to a log house, read the following: Setting a Roof on Top of Log Walls.
