Adding a Fence Gate

Use the Fence Gate object to add gates to your fences.
To add a new gate:
1. Select
Perspective view (if needed).
2. Adjust the view so
you can see the section of the fence where you want to add a gate.
3. Click Add Fence
Gate.
4. Position cursor over
the fence where you want to add the gate.
5. Click to add the
gate.

To open a gate:
1. Click the gate to
select it.
2. Adjust the Open
angle property to the desired angle.

To move an existing gate:
1. Click the gate to
select it.
2. Drag to the desired
position. You can move the gate to a different section of the same fence (but
not to a different fence).
Tips:
•
Normally when you click to add the gate, the gate will be added and
automatically selected for editing. If you want to immediately add another gate,
hold Ctrl while clicking.
• If
grid snap is enabled, it might be difficult to place the gate exactly where you
want it. Press Ctrl+G to disable grid snap. See Snap Settings for more information.
• Gates
can only be added to existing fences, not other objects.
• The
gate material will automatically match the fence material.
• The
gate height is calculated automatically based on the board height of the fence
it is attached to.
