Hello Chris,
>>messy fence….
I had the same problem which went away when I boolean subracted a cube I made
with GRIDS.PXP to give it a bunch of faces. You could also start with a quad
(with lots of extra vertices in the circumference) in the shaper and loft a box
with a bunch of steps and TWEEN on.
The last time I needed a fence I just made a long flat rectangle and made a
chainlink opacity map. (You can use the SG.PXP to make a white fence, then
render a chunk in the front view to a GIF file to make the opacity map. You
can tile it – no end problems.)
