Log Wall Limit Heights

You can define the parts of a log wall that are visible in a floor plan by setting the log wall section plane, lower limit and upper limit in a dialog box.

1. Select Log Walls > Log Wall Limit Heights.
2. Set the log wall section plane, lower limit and upper limit in a dialog box:

Lower limit

The height above which parts of the log wall are displayed in the floor plan. Type the height in the text field.

Section level

The section plane of the log wall. Type the height in the text field.

Upper limit

The height below which parts of the log wall are displayed in the floor plan. Type the height in the text field.

Update 2D geometry of walls

Select this check box when you want to update the geometry of the log walls in the floor plan.

Note

• The heights are defined in relation to the floor base height.
• The wall parts determined by the limit heights are drawn in different ways on the floor plan. Drawing layer, pen width, line type, line spacing and color have been defined for the lines of each part in the system settings with the following line names:

  Name	Explanation
  LOGWALL.UPPER	The lines of the wall part between the upper limit and the section plane
  LOGWALL.SECT	The lines of the wall part on the section plane
  LOGWALL.LOWER	The lines of the wall part between the lower limit and the section plane

  The wall parts on the section plane are also marked with a hatch fill. The hatch type, drawing layer, pen width, hatch spacing, angle and color are defined in the system settings with the hatch name LOGWALL.SECTFILL.

• The default values for the limit heights Lower limit, Upper limit and Section plane are defined in the LOGHOUSE setup file under the keyword view_height.

  view_height= HEIGHT1 HEIGHT2 HEIGHT3

  where

  HEIGHT1 = Lower limit
  HEIGHT2 = Section plane
  HEIGHT3 = Upper limit

• The LOGHOUSE setup file also allows you to define limit heights for reflected walls, for example first floor walls reflected onto the second floor of a building. Define limit heights for a reflected log wall using the keyword

  view_height_refl= HEIGHT1 HEIGHT2 HEIGHT3

  HEIGHT1, etc. as with the keyword view_height.

  The walls are usually reflected using the general element function Reflecting Geometry to Another Floor.
