winterdd Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 i've got a project requiring chain link fencing. i downloaded from 3d warehouse (sketchup) a chainlink panel. it bogs down the plan file big time. how do you guys go about setting this up?

Then on the "Rails" tab of that same dialog, you can assign "Round" top and bottom "rails" to complete the construct. DJP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJP you the man! i "opened object" on the chainlink panel and didn't see the railing option which is why i am here. obviously im looking at the wrong place to do so?

wkenddad Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 How would you add a gate? Is there a rounded cap for each pole? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey_martin Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 How would you add a gate? - Just like adding a door to a wall, add the door and select the style from the libraryIs there a rounded cap for each pole? - Yes, in the library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
