Chain link fencing

[Joe Carrick]

Did you try making it as a railing wall with the Chain Link as the Panel?

Joe, thanks for the suggestion. I will try this and hope it saves me some time. My comment on the uselessness of the library items still stands. Why put it in there if it does not work or intuitive to the user?

You must be doing something wrong. The chain length fences work perfectly for me, but I would never use them because they take forever to create in 3D. The solution I believe is a CHAIN LENGTH TEXTURE that I believe Pat the 3D Diva has.

Joe's suggestion should work. And there are a lot of items in the library that fit your description, but they're not really meant to be used as standalone items. Cabinet doors for example, door hardware, windows, mouldings, etc. They need to be used through the appropriate DBX, and for the reasons they were created in the first place.

Chain link gate won't fit in the chain link fence? Because is was not meant for this? Have I missed something? When I look at or use ANY program the one thing look for is how intuitive it is. Has CA been made aware of this or any similar problems and what would be their response?

Again, its not a problem. Simply a side effect. Those items need to be located in the library. It doesn't mean they should be pulled directly from the library though. Joe summed it up pretty well in his last post.

It doesn't mean they should be pulled directly from the library though

so how does one know the difference ???

Is there an indicator or a warning or ???

Do you not know the answer??

No, there is no warning

Its not that you can't use those items directly from the library, it's just that you usually shouldn't because there's a better way.
