Patricia Thanks so much for the guidance. I replaced the textures and they work as you described. They seem to have aliasing, changing appearance as the viewing angle changes. Maybe I need to change my resolution settings on the windows screen. Verlin

when I put windows into my log walls you can't see through them as in other walls. It doesn't open a space for them but puts them on top of the walls. Is there a way we can fix this? It doesn't matter so much that I can't see through them in the viewing as it matters as it will affect the amount of logs used in the estimate. Thanks! Tracy

Thanks for anwering Patricia... Its just that I can't put doors and windows where there are no walls...so then I can't draw the logs around them. So I have to create walls which will be accounted for in the estimates too... Maybe I could put in the walls and doors in little short walls and draw the logs around them? Yikes!! It is a bit complicated to mess with and think about! Can Punch fix this problem and put in a download to make the log walls act like the stick built walls so they accept and make room for the windows and doors? It is really a necessary feature. Thanks!! Tracy

Tracy,

IMO the best resource is --> raw a Punch wall--> insert a Punch window --> put the log window covering it. However, as I stated, the log window will not be accounted in the estimator

We (people answering questions at the Forum) are volunteers, so we don't know Punch plans for future features....

Hi Paul Dorward,

In addition, all the Punch versions starting with Punch AS 18 V6 and up have a category (Objects) called "log house". You will find columns, beams, etc

Hope this helps

Patricia
