"Simple" Cedar Fence

[JayGarbarino]

I have used Archicad for some time and fell proficient in most aspects. When it comes to the railing tool, I am reduced to frustration. I am an engineer and this tool and I do not think the same.
I was attempting a simple wood cedar Fence.

• The flat cedar pickets will not start at the posts
• Most often if a new length of fence is draw, there are also gaps between the inner posts.
• The corners are also not closed.

I share your frustration about that rail tool myself and it could definitely be improved.

Are there any of those fence types in the object library that may help you ?

I created my fence using an invisible wall with columns for posts and the CI coverings tool for cladding and rails. You could probably use beams for rails too ?

Anyway that was my method others may be able to help you out.

Have Fun !

I would probably model the posts seperately. In doing this your posts and inner posts become your slats and it is easier to adjust the spacing.

You may be happier with the "Fence Vertical 26" object shown with no posts, and adding posts manually.
