Anyone have a paint file for log homes?  John Honea sent me one years ago when I was doing a bunch of log homes but it appears I lost it at some point.  If you have one and don't mind sharing, I'm at sam@morganfinehomes.com

Isn't there a log profile for siding?

Sam we have used the Board and Batten paint rotated 90 degrees and sized to 50 percent vertical to represent

a log home, Swedish Cope construction, with a chink line between logs. Explode the B&B paint  and colored logs

and chinking using solid paint.

Rick is that a paint? If so could you send the Swedish Cope paint my way? Thanks srfxc@aol.com

If it's available on one of the old drawings you did, you can go into the drawing library and add it to the system library.

There is a half log siding and half log end shown in my siding paint file along with all the other sidings.  Shows up like this:

I would like to move this paint file into my Softplan file. Can anyone share what the procedure is?

Thank you.

Go to your Softplan folder on the C: drive then open the "Paint" folder and put the Log Siding spy file in the folder that you want it in. Probably the "Siding" folder. When I downloaded the file I saved the zip file to the folder I wanted it in and unzipped it to that folder.
