Log Work Drawing Markings
Log House Work Drawings
In addition to the parallel projection of the wall, the program will add a label text, log labels, wall dimensions and machinings to the log work drawing. A log work drawing may also show the opening macros, crossing log walls, crossing profiles, the roof, and the description text and screw-leg of a column.
Scale of the log work drawing window
The default scale of the drawing window is 1:20. You can change the scale with the keyword log_wall_pic_scale in the LOGHOUSE setup file, for example:
log_wall_pic_scale= 25
The scale of the log work drawing window will be 1:25.
You can check the scale of the drawing window in the following way:
- When the log work drawing is open and the cursor is active in the working window, right-click to open the context-sensitive menu and select Properties.
- Select the tab Drawing Limits in the dialog box. The scale is displayed in the Scale field.
Dimensions
The dimensions and their locations are defined in the LOG_MEAS database.

Floor plan view of the log wall to the log work drawing
You can add a view of the floor plan to the log work drawing in order to display the notches of the connecting walls. Select the floor plan view in use with the keyword in the LOGHOUSE setup file:
layout_to_log_dwg

Dimension, line and text properties in a log work drawing
The properties of dimensions, lines and texts added to a log work drawing, such as layer, pencil width, line type, font, color, etc., are defined in the system settings.
Properties of texts and dimensions are defined with the following text names:
| Name | Explanation |
| LOGFACE.WALLLBL | Wall label |
| LOGFACE.LOGLBL | Log label |
| LOGFACE.LOGLEN | Log length |
| LOGFACE.MACLBL | Macro label |
| LOGFACE.CWALLLBL | Crossing wall label |
| LOGFACE.MEAS | Log work drawing dimensions |
| LOGFACE.MEASLBL | Dimension label text |
Properties of lines are defined with the following line names:
| Name | Explanation |
| LOGFACE.LINE | Roof, crossing walls, etc. |
| LOG.MARKER | Logs, which are longer than the maximum value defined in the length distribution |
The properties of lines depicting
machinings are defined in an application development program that creates the 2D geometry for
machining.
