This may be an unoriginal post, but im not sure. Im genuinly curious about why you think one might look better than the other. 😛

(EDIT: So it turns out there is a third option, and I kinda like it a lot)

    Depends. Usually the horizontal sits on the vertical to create structural compression (the horizontal beam rests on the vertical so to be supported by it).

    However if you are crossing beams lower, you could have the vertical run through, in those cases I support the horizontal with upside down stairs.

    Depends on how I’m building.

    #2 If I’m building across a building.

    #1 If I’m building up a pillar on the outside corners of a building.

    i never do 2 but i also dont really do the horizontal logs as dividers

  4. I put the corners vertically in the foreground and do the right side pattern for mid-sections.

    I like having the “cut” side facing me – both of these arrangements bug me a bit so I just use a third option
