DavidJPotter Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 If you mean, nut and bolt duplicate log home structures the answer is NO, if you mean emulate, look like and be useful to build log homes, the answer is yes. I know of no 3D modeling program anywhere that duplicates, log by log, a log home. I suppose Sketch UP could be used, making the logs one at a time, stacking them, then creating the windows and doors one at a time from scratch then adding roofs, well I say to you, no thank you, very much, ugh.

jp_anderson Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago I have been able to mimic the exterior veneer of a log home in Home Designer 2026; however, I would also like to be able to accurately mimic the logs for purposes of easily calculating material costs. The logs that I will be using are square so they 12" tall and 8" wide. Length I am less sure about but for purposes of my question, assume length is 8'. Is there a way that I can modify a material to achieve this aim? The logs will be the entirety of the wall (exterior and interior). In essence it would be no different that building the house out of landscaping timbers stacked on top of each other. that will ultimately be the support for the roof. I hope this makes sense. I have searched the knowledge base without success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
