Keywords Connected with the Automatic Cutting of Logs

The LOGHOUSE setup file may contain the following keywords connected with the automatic cutting of logs.

rec_log_distribution
The length distribution of planed logs, which defines the joint locations in the log work drawing. It is defined as a pair of numbers, so that the first number determines the log length L, and the second number determines the percentage of logs with the length L among the logs of the wall. The minimum length of a log is defined with the keyword min_log_length. For example:
2000 20 \
4000 30 \
8000 40 \
9600 10
In this case:
20% of the logs are of length min_log_length...2000
30 % of the logs are of length 2000..0.4000
40 % of the logs are of length 4000..0.8000
10 % of the logs are of length 8000...9600
cyl_log_distribution
The length distribution of round logs. It is defined in the same way as the length distribution of planed logs.
Note:
  • Logs, which are longer than the maximum value defined in the length distribution, are drawn with a different line type than rest of the logs in the log work drawing, when the keyword mark_too_long_logs has been defined in the setup file. The keyword value is the name of the line which defines the line properties in the system settings, for example:

    mark_too_long_logs= LOG.MARKER

  • The automatic cut is not performed, if there are logs cut with the function Cutting a Log on the wall.
  • You can also set a maximum log length without cutting the logs. Remove the keywords rec_log_distribution and cyl_log_distribution, and define the maximum log length with the keyword max_log_length, for example max_log_length= 6000. When you close the log work drawing, the program warns you about the logs exceeding the maximum length, but the logs are not cut.
