I am trying to put a long fence along a hilly landscape. Aside from hand fitting it, is there an easy method to do this? An IPAS routine perhaps? Any suggestions would be great. Cheers, John

I think that the Schreiber folks have a fencing package that automatically lays many different kinds of fencing over landscapes. Give them a shout. – G

You might try drawing your hilly landscape's curve in the Shaper and import it at as a path in the Keyframer for a fence section mesh. Now just use Snapshot to make copies for each frame along your hill's path. – Phil

Thanks. I'll give it a try. (BTW you guys did a nice job with "Inside 3ds", I refer to it all the time!) Cheers, John
