Fence Wizard
Create fences by drawing a path and choosing a style preset (picket, horizontal slats, privacy screen), then setting height, post spacing, gates, and wood finish.
Create a fence along a prepared path, choose its style, configure spacing and posts, and place gate openings. The wizard’s current step tabs guide the configuration; drawing the path takes place in the main editor before the wizard opens.
Prepare the input and open the wizard
Draw the open line or path in the main editor first, then choose Fence in the Hardscape Add panel. Select the prepared outline when the canvas asks for it. With one compatible shape already selected, the wizard can open directly. The wizard opens a full-window workspace with a preview; it does not ask you to draw inside an inspector sidebar.
Choose the style and height
Select an offered fence style, then configure height and member spacing. Choose the style before fine-tuning dimensions because style changes can reset related parameters. The preview shows how the members fit along the path.
Configure posts
In Posts, choose Post Style and its dimensions, then select the offered spacing rule. Target maximum post spacing requests an upper spacing target; Full-bay post spacing sets the interval for full bays and uses the offered remainder rule at the end. Corner posts are included at turns. Review the generated post count and actual spacing in the preview.
Add and position gates
In Gates, choose Add Gate. Use Position to place the opening along the path and Width to size it. Hinge Side is relative to the path direction; Swing Direction and Preview Angle control the displayed swing. Check Auto-insert gate posts and resolve Gate configuration errors before applying.
Set the wood style
Use Wood style for the offered finish, Weathering and Moss coverage. Inspect the posts, rails, infill and gates together in the preview.
Check and apply
Use Back and Next to inspect the wizard settings and preview. Correct any validation message before applying. Apply on the final step creates or updates the object; Cancel leaves without applying the current wizard draft.
Edit the object later
Select the placed object to use the Inspector’s available editing controls. Whole-object wizard settings and individual Structure editor member edits are different operations. Reapplying a wizard can ask how to handle existing member edits; read that choice before confirming. In the Structure editor, Done keeps member edits and Cancel attempts to undo available changes back to entry.
