The Arch_Fence command does not create the post and section from scratch. The user has to create those objects first.

@Kunda1 I'm reading the forum for a while now but unfortunately my time for amswering topics is very limited.

@jpolonia I think you struggle with the first step describes in the Arch Fence page.

The easiest way to create a post and section is to use a Part Box.

1. Switch to part workbench
2. Create part box and set length and width to 100mm and height to 1000mm. This is your post
3. Create another box. Set height and width to 100mm and length to 1000mm. move it up in z direction by 500mm. This is your section.
4. Continue with steps 2 to 5 mentioned on the Arch Fence wiki page.


Now you should have a fence.
