Hi Everyone, our company has finally taken the plunge to incorporate softlist. We are a log home company so some of the things we do are a bit on conventional. We have 3 log width and use a different sill plate width for each. 2x6 for 6" log, 2x8 for 8" log and 2x10 for 10" log.
I have created 3 separate cedar sill plate materials. What I would like to know is, is there a way to write a formula that tells softlist to report the 2x6 when the log wall is 6" and then 2x8 the log is 8"? Basically I want the formula to reference the name of the log wall. Is that possible?
I should mention that the sill plate is part of the foundation wall, not the log wall. I could add the plates to the log wall to keep the formula simpler, but we prefer having the bottom of the log wall at 0 station when drawing.
Thanks,
Dan
