log walls and houses

[karolisbilz@yahoo.com]

i was googling for several days now and couldn't find anything normal. and came here to ask u guys if there's any decent way to make a log wall in revit? and by descent i mean not with sweaps that imitates logs, but normal log wall caus if not, i'll be soooooo pissed of, cause i could be expecting smth like this from autoCAD or 3dsmax or whatever that is not specialised for architexture in particular or at least not specialised like revit......all i could find is masing tutorial for full round logs and a ridiciuoulus sweaping on both sides of the wall with log imitation sweaps.....then u have to replcae walls to make windows that change them back etc....in other words bulls**t and 10 times faster and easyer making it with cad....i'll be really dessapointed in revit and autodesk guys if this almighty revit bim sowftare missed out a simply stuff like log wall....hope some1 will surprise me with smth smart soon.....lol

I think the only simple answer is "just do it in Cad then".

 

Revit can't do everything. No software can.

 

There are many features in Revit that other software can't do. Basically pick the best tool for the job.

 

Are you producing construction documents or jsut a model to render?

i'm making architectural part of the project....it's a small log cabin ~ 60square meters....and i thought this could be my first project in revit cause it's so small and not complex, cause i've had revit for a while now but haven't got time to jump to that, .....but i the deadline is coming so fast and i think this is stupid do to it in revit in that way that these totrials says......think gonna stick tu AutoCAD this time also....good old CAD....never seem to let me down
