Have a go hero - swapping in your variations

You're now ready for Step 3 in this method. Explode the fencing groups first. Select some fences at random. Make them unique. Now, select one of these new components, right-click and select Reload. Select a new component (V01, V02, and so on). Repeat it with your other variants.

Have a go hero - swapping in your variations

Use the following techniques to further mess it up:

  • Move a number of fences in and out, so they're not all exactly in line
  • Flip a few by the red axis to create a mirror copy
  • Scale a few in the blue axis to make them slightly shorter
  • Use the Rotate tool to lean the posts in or out
  • Use the Rotate tool to rotate components in plan
  • Think of creative ways to add a sense of realism on your own!
