Log Home Solution (LHS) is a special version of ArchiCAD with a special library. Most of us don't know much about it, so while you wait for an answer here, it would be best to contact the reseller from whom you purchased it. Angie Izzie handles east of the Mississippi and Chris Clark west, AFAIK. If you are in a houseboat in the middle of the river, I guess you can flip a coin. 😉 GSNE handles Canada AFAIK.

Very little info out there.

If you don't own the Cross Corner tool, there's an easy trick to make cross corners that is only a couple of extra steps.

Assuming that you have a completed wall and slab arrangement:

1: Uniformly enlarge a COPY of the floor slab to the distance the corners should cross.

2: Select walls and use the ADJUST command to automatically lengthen each wall to the slab edge as required. This requires being selective in your wall selections - ie: not all of them at once.

DELETE the slab copy.

... or if you want a butt and pass or dovetail looking corner, you can use Dwight's method and then SEO to cut out the "teeth".
