James: It would certainly be something we would consider for a future release of Facade. Right now, the walls are flat surfaced, as are the walls in virtually every other architectural front-end I have ever seen. It might be possible to create a wall-style with KETIV's package that would mimic a log profiled wall. Check with them. You might also try getting in touch with a company called Panabode just outside of Vancouver (in Surrey I believe). That's area code 604. They're a major log home builder (we're talking pre-packaged and shipped world-wide). They developed their own log home application for AutoCAD. They're taken it to the point where it actually produces cut lists for their specially profiled logs. But they also did a pre-design/visualization program that lets a designer sit down with a client and quickly put together a log home and then view it in 3D. They might be willing to share some of their expertise with you. David
