chain Link fence

[jarod.tulanowski]

Does anyone know how to make a chain link fence that also renders? I know how to make one if it is just a cross hatch pattern on a thin wall, What I really would want is a wall that you can see through beyond in an annimation and also see the chain link in front. any ideas? Thanks in advance for the feedback

You can use a material which when rendered is partially transparent. I posted notes on the method way back when. The principal is described over here.....http://forums.augi.com/showthread.php?t=604&highlight=quick

Thank you very much. well here is my first try haha

Ahh I love the smell of chain link in the morning!

Check out the chainlink fencing I did in revit, not to bad shadows sky reflections and all. I have attached the revit model for you to play with at your convenience.

I created this chain link fence as a railing with a panel fill. I assigned to the panel a material with tile. The base is trasparent and the tile is oriented to 45d and 2" spaced.

cool
that was what I was also doing. one additional step that I did was put a post family in and have it calculate a new post every 10 feet if I stretch the wall out. this worked great on a site fence.

Would you be so kind as to attach the chain link fence you made as a railing? Or, would you please give a detailed explanation of how you did this? I am trying to make my own, but not having much success! Thanks!

Railings are system families and cannot be saved to a file

[Andre Carvalho]

Unless they paste it into a blank Revit file and post it here, so you can copy and paste into your own file.

But just create a new material using a cross pattern (model pattern) at 45 degrees and make it 100% transparent. The result of that material is that only the model pattern will show. Then use it as a material for your railing.

If you were using Revit 2008 and below the solution provided would perfectly. If you are using 2009 or 2010 the solution doesn't work anymore. Take get a material that is a chain link you simply have to select the chain link material inside of your material library.

I've wrote up something on my blog (http://johntocci.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=13&Itemid=27) (Fencing in Revit) about creating it -- this thread actually pushed me in the right direction.

Looks like you accidentally hit the high wind speed simulator button. You can reset it under the Analyze tab.

Hi, do you still have your family? :)

This is a pretty old post and the link to the blog in post 12 doesn't work. But I found this site (https://www.bimobject.com/en-us/categories/landscaping/fencing?filetype.id=9&sort=trending&page=1) that has quite a few to select from.
