I am trying to make a custom fence, basically by converting a TS3 fence, but things are not working as expected, so I wondered whether there are any special instructions that I'm unaware of?

I have the three separate components for my mesh: the straight fence, the diagonal fence and the post. I've cloned a base-game fence and replaced the three parts of the mesh, but it's not working correctly in-game. When placing the straight fence, the post appears not only on the wrong end of the fence, but also one square away. Something even stranger happens when trying to place the diagonal fence: it seems to extend in the wrong direction by one square from the starting point.

I just wondered if anyone can suggest what might be going wrong?

Did you keep the original mesh? If so, you can use it to compare the placement of your new mesh to the one of the original one. It sounds like you might have placed your new mesh one tile off from where it should be.

Thanks, moune. :)

Yes, I figured out earlier (with a little help) what had gone wrong - basically the meshes were all flipped around by 180 degrees. Boy did I feel daft when I realized what the problem was!

But anyway, it's fixed now!
