      Heyo!

      Currently, I'm trying to build a log cabin. I'm at the point where I'm starting to put the roof on, but for the logs (cylinders) to not stick through the roof, I need them cut at an angle. Currently, I have only one theory on how to do this, and it involves potentially hours of work.

      Are there any ways to cut a cylinder at an angle? I'm being caught in another stump! Ha! Get it...because I'm working on cab---okay never mind.

        Phil, draw an angled plane through the structure where you want to trim the logs. intersect the plane and structure. erase what you don't want. takes longer to describe than to do. chuck.

          If you are using the pro version, you can use solid tools to make the seat cut and the ridge cut.

              Wow. Thanks for the great tips guys! I will definitely do this.
              I hope my question wasn't too stupid. I'm still trying to learn this program after a year of using it. I'm still learning new things, and I'm pretty sure I'll still have many new questions for a long time!
              Thanks again!
