I believe there is a log wall family you can download. That's where i got the walls for this project. I had to edit the wall family height as needed but it served it's purpose.

Here's the sweep that is stacked in your wall and a screen shot of the structural edit of the wall. Note the spacing of the profile is critical to maintain the modularity of the sweep profile which in this case is 8 3/4" coursing.

I'll try to attach the files again. If this doesn't work, it's basically a sweep profile that looks like a 2" slice of the log with a convex face. Attach it to the exterior side of your basic wall starting at the base and keep adding them till you get to your maximum height that the wall may end up.

It's not required if that's what you're asking. I'm not a log home expert so someone else may have a more educated response. This home happens to be an addition to an "authentic" adirondack camp which had real logs and real stone foundation so i kept the detailing consistant.

The rock on the bottom is usually CMU with the rock being creative stone. I have worked with some homes though that used actual rock to create a "battered wall". Its just more appealing to see the stone than to look at a cmu or concrete stem wall. Can Revit create a full round log as a wall type? This is a feature known in ArchiCAD, but since I have Revit as well I wondered if I could use it too. Or do I need to create a proflie like what was posted and have it on both sides of the wall?

so what your saying is that the wall sturctre is CMU, then the stone is just like a fascia then? and not sure about the round walls, what i did was just create a profile on both sides.

Yes, the wall structure below the logs is cmu or concrete depending on if back-fill is an issue and the stone is a veneer. I prefer the slanted wall method myself "battered", it just looks better. Take a look here: http://www.edgewoodlog.com/inmedia/index.html The house featured in the top 10 2007 Annual Buyers Guide (Third plan down) gives you somewhat an idea of this. It was done in ArchiCAD and I did some of the preliminary design work on it when I worked there. It used to be allot bigger!

BTW....Interior walls are usually stick frame (stud). Usually the only time one would have a full log wall is in the Great Room, or else they have a log veneer on a stud wall. I have been trying to create wall with full round-like structure, but so far I have not yet been successful.

Here is my attempt using host sweeps.. I used a concrete wall for the chink effect....but then it causes issues for the ends... I am thinking I may have to use some-sort of family object instead.

Same attempt - add door and windows.... lost a log course above the windows though....  edit: Just realized I would need two different types of walls.....so that I can get the proper stack effect)
