Saddle Notch Log Cabin

[WFTDesign]

Have anyone had experience doing Log Cabin using Saddle Notch system? 

Creating a screencast will be very helpful. 

I will use Round Profile, not D or Square shape. 

I have Revit LT so I can't use components to insert windows or doors, so I would only do the log modeling without windows or doors. My client wants to know how it works to add new space to existing cabin using same Saddle Notch system.

I think this is a very interesting task.... I would try this with a curtain wall. I would create a curtain wall profile to describe the profile of wood elements and then use it to create custom curtain wall mullions. Then, I would position grid lines close together with a "Fixed Distance" or a "Fixed Number".... So, every horizontal grid line would be a hosting a wood element.

I never tried Revit LT, so I don't know if you can load profiles there... If you can't, you can always try this with an in-place family.

@Ilic.Andrej: Interesting. That wasn't my first thought, but I like it a lot.
