Minimum Heights of Automatic Machinings

Log House Work Drawings

You can define minimum heights for the following types of machining:

  • WALL_TO_WALL - Machinings between intersecting walls.
  • CORNER_TO_WALL - Machinings at wall intersections.
  • OPENING_SIDE - Machinings on the sides of openings.
  • SYMMETRIC

Define the minimum height by adding a MIN_HGT parameter for the machining. You can add the parameter by editing the machining library.

  1. Open the library browser by selecting System | Libraries | Libraries.
  2. Select Custom Libraries.
  3. Select the library type Macro Components.
  4. Select the library Log Wall Machinings.
  5. Right-click to open the context-sensitive menu.
  6. Select Edit Library Content. The Log Machining Macro Components database view opens.
  7. Select the Machining Data tab of the database view.
  8. Move the cursor over the row of the desired machining. The machining type displayed in the Automatic field must be one of the following:
    • WALL_TO_WALL
    • CORNER
    • OPENING_SIDE
    • SYMMETRIC
  9. Select the Parameters tab of the database view.
  10. Enter a value for the MIN_HGT parameter in the Additional Parameters field. You can define the minimum height, for example as follows:
    • MIN_HGT=3h - Minimum height is 3 x log riser.
    • MIN_HGT=600 - Minimum height is 600 mm.
  11. Confirm by clicking OK.
Note:
  • You can also define the minimum height for the OPENING_SIDE machining type in the Rule 2 field on the Machining Rules tab. This minimum height will be used only if the machining does not have a MIN_HGT parameter.
  • If the machining is not in the custom library, you can copy it from the system’s standard library. See Add a Component by Copying.
  • System tab is only available if you are a system administrator.
