V Align | The base point of vertical distribution |
Bevel Depth | Line width of the curve. |
Width, Height | Interval beween wires. |
Fit | Modify intervals to fit the edge of polygons. |
Mergin H | Set mergins on left and right side. When mergin is not 0, additional lines for edge would be formed. |
Ornament | Make ornament on the top and bottom edge. Currently, 7 types of shape is implemented. Belows is two examples (Ring and Triangular). SupportHorizontal lines that support the ornaments. Cap Type are classified by additional sub types. (Simple, Taper, Round, Hat) Resolution U Resolution for U direction. Radius (A,B) Parameters for the size of ornament itself, or its components. |
Fill Top/Bottom |
Set ornament (or just a line without ornament) to the top and bottom of the polygon. |
Offset H/V | Offset for horizontal and vertical lines respectively. |
Hrizontal, Vertical |
Switches for horizontal and vertical lines respectively. |
Copy Transform | Set new object at the same position of original one. If unchecked, new object would be made at origine. You can use this option to show objects offseted. |
Smooth Shading | Enable smooth shading. |
Resolutuon | Resolution for bevel of curve object. resolution 0 is quadrangular prism. |
Copy Transform | Set the location of new object to the base object. If unchecked, the new object would be set at origin (0,0,0). |
Material | Copy material to new object. (just a copy of material in material slot 0.) |
Type |
Select shape of cross section from cylinder and quadrangular prism. If you select Rect Object, additional curve object would be formed for bevel object. You can edit that bevel object later. You can adjust the shape of rect object like flat boards, changing the object aspect ratio. |
Direction A,B | Switches for lines of each direction respectively. |
Offset A,B | Offset for each lines respectively. |
Curve Type | Select between Poly and Bezier. Bezier curve has more smooth looking. |
Distortion,Frequency | Make a distorted fence. The parameters determines degree and frequency of noise. |
Offset | Offset > 0 leads to incline that distortion is to the normal direction of the face. |
Support,Number | Add horizontal wires that supports the fence. |
Single | Makes number of ropes to 1. |
a | Catenary paramter. The smaller a makes rope the more loose. |
Terminal | Change the shape of terminals of ropes. Use with other parts like rings on poles. You must adjust the position of terminals by several parameters. (Not automatic). |
Twist Radius, Width | A single wire is composed of twisted two lines. These parameters determines the radius and width of twisting. |
Barb Interval | Interval between barbs. |
Distortion, Frequency | Degree and frequency for distortion on wires. |
Type | Five types are prepared. |
Offset H | Space between guard pipe and poles. Adjust this parameter according to the radius of poles. |
Tilt | Align the direction of the pole to the edge normal. Actually speaking, a single edge can not have a "normal" direction, so that the normal is that of neibouring faces. Thus, at the corner edge, the pole's direction is determined by the averaged direction of faces. |
Distortion, Frequency | Distort the shape of poles. USAGE/Usage for for simple wood log fence is assumued. |
Vertical/NotVertical | Enable and disables for vertical and non vertical egdes. |
Threshold | Threshould to distinguish between vertical and not-vertical pole. |
Offset | Offset for horizontal pole. |
Radius Ratio | Set size for non vertical poles in ratio. If size (ratio) is 1, overlapping faces occur when the shape is quadrangular prism. Small difference in radius leads to better results. |
Extend Top/Bottom/Rim) | Extend pole or horizontal beams. With Offset parameter, you can arrange shapes of corner. |
Cap Type | Make ornament parts at the top of poles. Basic cap type parts is almost similar to that for the cross fences. Or, you can select custom object as cap instead of basic cap types. |
Base Type Size Aspect | Set parts for basement at the bottom of poles. Block and Cylinder is implemented for basement type. Its shape is adjustable by size and aspect ratio parameters. |
Merge, Threshold | Merge segmented straight lines to one line. And the threshold value for judge whether the lines are straight or not. |
Solidify, Thickness | Option for to use solidify modifer, and parameter for thickness. |
Vis | Option for vis setting. They would be set at corners and middle of vertical poles. |
Offset A,B | Parameter for adjustment of vis location. The shape of vis is fixed. (Can not ajdust its length). |
Refrector | Add reflectors on the vertical poles. Currently 3 types (A,B,C) are implemented. |
Connector | Add connector parts for fence. Currently, only two types are is implemented. One is clip type connector for fence, and one is a ring for ropes. |
Aspect | Aspect ratio of clip parts Proper shape for this parts denends on various parameters. So I gave upped to automatic adjustment... |
Connector For Ring |
This Changes top and bottom parts to cylindrical connectors for ring shaped ornaments. (This type of fence is very common in the region I lives. So I especially implemented this type.) |
Ring | This type of connector attach rings to the pole. Use with rope type fence. Size and position can be controlled by above parameters. |
Support | Add additinal oblique support poles. |
Size, Angle, Offset | The shape of support poles are adjustable by these parameters. |
Extend | Extent support to downward. This paramete is for the cases that poles do not reaches to the ground. (For inclined fence or terrains). |
Angle | Select the angle of diagonal structure, step length in numerial or aspect ratio. |
Aspect Ratio | Ratio is based on the length of narrower edege. When aspect ratio is 1, the angle is 45 degree. |
Offset Factor | Set offset for diagonal structure, to take a space for the width of poles and structure itself. The unit is self widh. (If set to 2, offset is two-times of width. |
Joint Size | The structure would not be bent directly. A horizontal (vertical) space is added. This parameter adjust the size of the space. |
Resulutin U | Resolution for U direction. If fence is not straight one, some large number for resolution is required (about 8 or 12). |
Number | Number of pipes |
Offset | Offset for rail structre. Adjust to not overlap with poles. With too large offset, a structure becomes like this. |
Mergin, Slide | Mergin and offset for vertical direction. |
Connector | Connector parts between poles and pipes. In current version, only one type of connector is implemented. |
Radius A,B,C | These parameters controls the shape of connector parts. |
Opposite | This parameter >0 extends connector parts to the opposite directtion. With proper settings, it looks like vis screw head on the pole. |
Vis Size Direction Number | Add vis to the connector part. And parameters for its distribution. |
EndCap | Add cap object to the end. As special types, two curved pipe sphapes are implemented. |
Adjust Bezier Tips | Using Auto handle settings, the end tips of bezier curve becomes somewhat unnatural. This option set handle type to be not auto, and correct the curves at the end tips. |
End Cap, Radius | Makes a end cap parts of the guardrail. This is made by beveled curved object. (Not a mesh). So the shape is simple onewithout details. (This is for future improvement) |
Connector | Makes a connector parts between rail and poles. |
VisASize(Vis, Size) | Makes a vis-screw at connection parts. |
Margin H | Make margin. This parameter is to avoid overlappings of sequential stoppers. |
Support | Set a supporting horizontal pole. |
Ring | Add a ring parts to the stopper. This ring can be used to set ropes between, |
