Adjusting 3D objects

I have installed a 3D fence, (3D2K3Fence000.XYZ), and I would like to adjust only the height, keeping the base of the fence at the same elevation.
Is this possible?
Thank you.
Ian

You could try selecting the planted fence, then use the scale tool on the y axis. This should increase the height

Hi Glenn,
No matter which axis is selected, all three scale together.
The golfers will just have to be extra careful when they walk along that edge. :smile:
Thanks,
Ian

Hi Ian. Which fence is it? I'd like to check it out for you if you don't mind. :smile:

Hi Glenn.

It seems like I mentioned this to you quite a while back, but there is no need to actually install the APCD. You can simply drop one of the copies I provided into a folder and it will run fine without the need to install it. I provided 2 copies of the APCD. One standard copy, and another copy with the 2001 object library in it.

I have 5 copies of the APCD on my computer. The each work independently from one another and do not cause any problems. I only use one copy at a time. I never try to open more than one copy. (I don't think you could even if you want.) I've been doing it like this since I started The Nat GC of Kansas City. I also created Wakonda and Coeur d'Alene in separate copies of the APCD. I actually still have them on my computer. :smile: When I am building a new course, I make a copy of the APCD and name it's main folder the name of the course, and I NEVER EVER open any other courses in it except for the one I'm building. I also have a copy for testing courses for problem. Any time I want to work on a course for someone, I use the TEST APCD and delete the "USER.LIB" before I open it.

Hope that helps.

Dan

Hi Ian. Here's how you can scale it in any direction that you want.

Go to Lez videos, APCD 39 and move to the 7 minute mark. He will describe how to manipulate 3D objects and stretch them in any direction.

I watched that video 4 years ago or something but I didnt remember that Ctrl part - that is great to know! Thanks Ian and Dan for causing this discovery :thumbup: When Ian first brought up the question, I didnt feel fully sure, I havent done much planting with 3D objects, but I thought it probably couldnt be done. This method seems like it could be useful sometime.
