hawaiiviking Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 I'm trying to build a log home using log trusses. I've downloaded the bonus library for log truss components but I can't get the individual logs/poles to position and angle like I need them. Same problem with CAD shapes. I want to be able to move it like I can using a soffit but I need the round shape like a pole. Any ideas out there? I am using X8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Here's the help article to go with that bonus library... https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-02781/creating-a-log-truss.html I would personally probably just build the roof, create a standard truss, create a CAD Detail From View of that truss, and then use that as a template along with primitive solids (mostly just the cylinder) to build the truss from scratch.

johnny Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 I agree with Michael. The actual log placement should be one of the last things to do. I wouldn't act like you are building a model from lincoln logs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 If you open the Symbol Specification dbx for the log, you can rotate them any way and to any degree you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
