Setting a Roof on Top of a Log Wall

wedge_height

The cutting point of the wedge-shaped end of a log clipped with the roof in the end wall. The cutting point can be defined in the following ways:

• wedge_height= NMaterial thickness at the clipping point (mm), for example wedge_height= 30

• wedge_height= N%Material thickness at the clipping point as a percentage of the log riser. For example, wedge_height= 50%
• wedge_height= N HORIZN is the horizontal cutting distance from the intersection point of the roof and the log end, for example wedge_height= 20 HORIZ cuts a 20 mm piece from the sharp end.
