Log Wall Parameters When Changing a Log Wall

When changing a log wall into another log wall, select the log wall parameters in the dialog box.

Dialog box options

Log profile
Select the log profile from the list. The list consists of the cross sections in the LOG profile library. The profile label usually indicates whether the log is a planed or a round log.
Crib width
The width of the crib is by default the same as the width of the log. If necessary, you can enter a value for the crib width that is smaller or larger than the log width. When the field is empty, the default value is used.
Height of base log
The height of the bottom log of the wall may be smaller than the normal height of the log profile (the Log height parameter). Enter the height in the text field. The parameter is the same as the Full parameter in the wall height data and the log profile library.
Height of half log
The bottom log of a wall may be a half log. Enter the height of a half log in the text field.
When defining the height of the bottom half log, take into consideration how you want the risers of crossing walls to be positioned in relation to each other. If, for example, you want the riser of the bottom half log to be half of the riser of the bottom full log, the height of the bottom half log will then be
Hp = (Ht - a)/2 + a
where
Hp = height of the half base log
Ht = height of the lowest full log
a = the settling space part of log profile
