Profile Manager Question

[Anonymous]

I'm having trouble with the Profile Manager showing the seperation lines or courses in a custom log wall profile. Maybe this is not possible? I have tried to use a different fill in adjacent courses which did not work. the log wall details options are very limited (poor in my opinion) which make for a very unrealistic section view of anything other than a round log.
anybody tried to do this type of thing?

I did a quick check and it seems to work for me, could you post a picture of how you set up the profile, and is the linework not showing up in elevations of the wall, or in sections through the wall.

linework is missing in elevation.

I think you will need to create a minute gap (eg 1/256") between each log to have the lines show up. Otherwise I think the adjoining fills will form one fill and you'll need to assign it a material, with an appropriate vectorial hatching assigned to it.

Just curious.
Can that be done with the split tool to save polygons?

Don't know if the split tool would save polygons. I wouldn't use it personally. I'd just stretch the first two apart, then multiply them again.

If you want the logs to all have the same fill and have the line between them show, make a copy of the fill you want to use and alternate the fills oer the wall on the right.
The one on the left shows the same fill in all the logs and a different one in between.

Erika, I think he was referring to Elevation.

I will give seperating the courses a try. It's too bad you can't force a seperation line. Thanks for the input.
