cyclone fence pattern

cyclone fence pattern

cyclone fence pattern

(OP)
What is the easiest way to draw cyclone fence pattern, especially when you know you will have many different frame ad space size you will like to apply this.

For example let say that I have a square 3 feet long and I will like to position a cyclone fence pattern inside this square. How would you do it?

Thanks

RE: cyclone fence pattern

As a solid? You would need to create a sweep of one strand of the linking wire, then copy, rotate & position the strand to simulate a connected link, then pattern that link. That might create a large file though because of using the sweeps.

An alternative might be to use a texture.

BTW, I had never heard of a chain link fence referred to as "Cyclone fence". Is that a local term or is it more widespread than I knew of?

Google it and you will see it is widely used: Chain Link Fencing =  Cyclone fence.

"An alternative might be to use a texture" Can you please teach me how to do this, I only need it for cosmetic only, don't want a big file size.

Can Texture be apply to open areas like a frame? Have you see the frames used in Silk Screen? If you remove the cloth you will have an open frame.

If a picture is worth a thousand words why I could not find a way to post photos on this forum?

RE: cyclone fence pattern

To post images ... see FAQ559-1100 or FAQ559-1177 or Process TGML just above the [b]Submit Post[/]b button.

Textures can only be applied to a surface.
Texture creation is explained in the Help file.

BTW, I did do a Google ... that's how I found out that Cyclone fencing (422,000 hits) is the same as Chain Link (5,810,000 hits).

Kleenex. Coke. Cyclone. I am sure you can think of many more.
