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.
