How do you actually place tiles on a log wall, anyway?

I have a tiled outdoor shower on the porch of a contemporary log home and the surround was done with 1/4" thick walls...BUT, when I first put them in there the walls were too close together or interfering with each other and were possibly sharing space. Which we all know is not possible in real life. I just fixed the issue by moving the thin tile walls away from the logs a fraction of some fractions. Thanks for the info! I appreciate it.
I tend to just draw 1/4" thick walls with a tile material assigned to the face and put on a layer that will not show in plan.
For floors, I'll usually do one slab for the overall floor structure and another that is 1/4" thick just in the rooms that get tile (if I need them... usually I'll omit this unless it's for a rendering)
