trying to figure out how to use the complex rectangular shaped object as a wall. after selecting the complex profile wall option, i don't get the profile desired. you can see in the foreground snap shot it is smooth vs. the standard log wall that shows the log profile break lines.

This is my best guess... I really don't design using this feature. My apologies if you've already considered this.

If you are trying to use a complex profile wall, then you have to stack as many logs as you need in the profile itself.
But the number of logs is not adjustable.
If you are using only one log as in your image and then stacking the walls above each other, I would place the origin ad the bottom of the log.
Whether it is in the centre or edge at the bottom is up to you.

The log wall option will only give you round (but segmented) logs.
I don't think you can control the size of that chamfer.

thanks jeff for helping, your screen shot is what i have been typically using state side. in this case we have a new log profile as shown in my post working with an outfit in Nederland.

hmmm ok barry appreciate the assistance but that is not what i want to do and spend unnecessary time stacking. will contact the company out of Nederland and see if they might offer some insight since they use an older version of AC and show that in their plan set.
