Add a Wall Next to a Log Wall
You can add a heat insulation layer to a log wall by adding
another wall structure next to the log wall. A connection will be
created automatically between the log wall and the extra
insulation, meaning that:
- A window or a door added to the wall will cut an opening into
both the wall and the insulation layer.
- If the thickness of the log wall is changed by changing the
wall type, the insulation layer will be moved accordingly.
Add an insulation layer just like a regular wall.
- Select
Log Walls > 
Add Wall
Next to Log Wall.
- Select a structure designed as extra insulation for a log wall
from the wall library. In addition to the insulation layer, the
structure may include, for example, panel siding.
The Wall Dialog
Box
- Before selecting the points of the insulation layer, you can
use auxiliary wall adding functions. For example, you can select a
closed wall chain or change the reference point of the wall.
Auxiliary Wall Adding
Functions
- Select the points of the wall.
- Select Confirm.
Note
- If you add the insulation layer with the
Insert
Wall function, no connection will be created between the log
wall and the insulation layer.
- You can use the
Log
panel wall function on the contextual toolbar when adding an
extra insulation layer and panel siding to an exterior log wall.
The function can be used to define the panel height so that the
siding looks like the existing log wall.
- You can select any auxiliary function while selecting the
points of a wall chain. For example, you can change the
presentation method of the wall in the model, change the reference
point, select a closed or open wall chain, change the wall height
data, etc.
