Railing Tool

Hello,

I'm trying to create a post and rail fence which follows the contours of the terrain in my model, but I am unable to edit the elevation of individual nodes in the placed element.

Any help much appreciated.

If your terrain is modelled as a mesh, slab, roof or shell, you can turn on Gravity then draw your fence. Set your base offset to or above the highest point as it determines the maximum elevation even if your terrain continues to rise. The more nodes you create, the more accurately it will follow your contours as it can only snap your nodes to your terrain, not center points and so on.
