Wall Tool - log detail extension

The log detail in the Wall tool is not a bad feature. I know that the whole thing was cause of those Canadians and there log cabbins, but I find it useful to create slats etc.

However, I would like to see better features for this tool.

1. Ability to work on curved walls (this is REALLY annoying that is doesn't)
2. Ability to have round slats or rectangle slats.
3. Choose the height of the slat and the spacing of the slat/log
4. Maybe integrate a mortar joint (that is recessed)
5. Point 4 could possible be extended so the wall can physically make 3d bricks, though I think this is asking way too much.
6. On the round logs, ability to choose the resolution of the roundness

I'd be very happy with point 1, 2 and 3 being achieved.

Anyone else you the log feature for anything other than log cabbins as well?

OK, this is the kinda thing i was meaning.



The round parts should be true round (or have more facets) and all types should work on any wall type.
