I am working on some log cabins and want to do them in 3D. The log profile on the system is 10" in diameter. Is there any way of changing this profile? I need 12" diameter logs.

edit the wall click on "Definition" bottom left of the edit menu. Copy the wall definition and change it to 12" width. also change the log profile to a 12" profile

Thank you but the flattened part doesn't work for these. I need true 12" round logs. These cabins are Scandinavian log cabins. I just need to know how to make a 12" diameter log. The program only has 10" diameter.

Create your own profile. Draw a 12” circle then go to system options library. In the symbol library scroll down to “Profile” use the one step and draw a box around the 12” circle give it a name. Then you should be able to use the profile in your wall definition.

I did this many years ago think 10"; Some thru log corners some RS corner boards, beautiful homes for sure.
