Could anyone please fill me in on SoftPlan's capabilities as far as log home design goes? Any renderings to see? Is this a work around or a full log design solution?
Thanks!

it does the whole building from what i've seen.
check on the name "brian delwiche" or "brian delwhiche" / or something like that.
you'll see plenty of his renderings in the gallery,

NOTE:
if someone can attach a link to brians 3d renderings, feel free to do so.

You having trouble relaxing on vacation Randy?
Max. You can probably find some fantastic renderings in the Archive of this forum. However, they are not searchable so you will have to dig a little. The Forum itself has been updated recently, and there is only limited content except for the archives.

SoftPlan has some great tools for log style homes...
log walls where the ends extend... log beams.. log rafters if you want...
eh, I guess I'll use this thread as an opportunity to shamelessly show off some recent work, as it has all of that...

This is a rendering which, apparently, was developed using Logmaker software and ArchiCAD.
I particularly like the realistic log ends. The cost of Logmaker along with ArchiCAD is ridiculously too expensive with the two being well over $10,000.00. No software is worth thst these days, what with the need for constant upgrades to machines and software.
I had heard SoftPlan might be able to replicate this type of model. I will check the gallery for sure. Thanks to all who posted!

Hi - I saw this thread and it relates to a dilemma I am having right now. I am currently working on a log home. However, I want for half of the house to have stud walls with 4" half-log siding. When I try to create a wall type for this, I cannot find a 4" thick log. I can see from the profile many options to pick from. I am wondering how to create my own profile. I have searched for the various log profiles in symbols and details, etc to no avail. How do I access the existing log profiles so I can create my own?

Draw what you want as a profile on screen.
Go to SYSTEM OPTIONS > SYSTEM LIBRARY. Change Library Type to PROFILES - Go to LOG CLICK + Go to HALF LOG. Click ONE STEP and marquee select to profile you drew on the screen.
