NDCADTECH Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Is there an easy way to model a fence (like a barbed wire or chain link fence) in AutoCAD Plant3D? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 A quick way? I highly doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Unless you absolutely HAVE TO model it, I would recommend using a texture with an opacity map in the "Cutout" slot. Below is a chain link texture I have used in some of my projects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NDCADTECH Posted June 29, 2016 Author Share Posted June 29, 2016 Nah it's more of a place holder, something to look good to the client. Thanks for the tip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NDCADTECH Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 So I ended up using structural members to design a fence. The pattern is a structural plate. If anyone wants to replicate it, just ask and I can write out the steps I went through. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Can you post a render of your fence, so we can see what you did? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NDCADTECH Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 Sure, how does this look? It wouldn't upload when I first tried... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Looks pretty good from here, and if it looks good and it works for the purposes of the render, that's all that matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
