Embed Fence

Enmesh selected edges into terrain as geofences, enabling local features, membrane for brushes, and iterative embedding.

Useful to

Type:  Pick, Mesh
Menu:  Extensions > Landshape > Pick > Embed Fence

Input

  • Group containing edges.
  • Raw edges or faces.

Only edges are embedded.

Why Embed?

In short, Embeds are edges that you have enmeshed into your terrain just where you want them.

Embedding lets you express a sharp shape transition in the terrain. Such transitions are often called for where the general terrain mesh meets a building, a retaining wall, a flight of outdoor steps, or some other built feature.

To learn Embed basics, see Embed.

What is Embed Fence?

Embed Fence is similar to Embed.

Just like Embed, Embed Fence will enmesh your selected input edges into the terrain mesh.

However, Embed Fence will also add a special property to the embedded edges. This property is called "Fence".

A Fence lets many Landshape brushes stop by or on the Fence. This can be quite useful whenever you want the Fence to also express the border between different shapes.

For instance, you may want brush the terrain on one side of the Fence as to be smooth. Then, you want to brush the terrain on the other side of the Fence to be rough.

The Fence property is invisible. You cannot see the the property by looking at the edge. However, you can use the Landshape command View Fence: to show where Fences are.

Why Embed Fence?

This property enables some advanced features, like brushes stopping at the embed.

Also, Fences are more presistent than standard Embeds.

If you Embed iteratively, Landshape tries to preserve existing Fences in the terrain.

How Do I Remove a Fence?

To remove Fences in an area, you can Mesh the area.

To Unfence a single edge, start the Stitch tool, and click it.

For more advanced ways to control Fences, Check the Prop menu. Here, there are commands that let you Unfence in batch. Select the control geometry originally used to Fence edges. Run Unfence Edges. This should unfence any edges matching your selection.
