Hi, Does anyone know of a wall family or any other method for designing walls for log cabins? I have a new project to design a real log home that will be built from hand-cut logs about 16" in diameter (not a log kit). I am not sure how to develop a log wall family for this project. A Revit support person told me that the many curved surfaces of a log wall (using a curved profile host sweep over a generic wall) would slow down the program dramatically. Any help or advice would be much appreciated. Thank you. Vic T

This is true. Embedded wall sweeps with lots of curved surfaces will dramatically slow your project. I've never had to do a log house, but just a thought it might be a worth option to use curtain walls... You could create a curtain system based on your log sizes then apply mullions based on the profile of your logs... HTH.
