You can change the height and width of a gate as well as the dimensions of the rails and boards. You can also control how far the gate is open in 2D and 3D views.

To edit the properties of a gate:

  1. Click on the gate to select it.

  2. Right-click and select Properties, or select Edit > Modify Elements > Properties.

  3. To change the type of gate, click on the appropriate graphic in the Type area. Choose from General, Privacy, Picket or Ranch. The General style just inserts a plain, flat door.

  4. To change the overall size of the gate, edit the values in the Gate Width and Gate Height edit boxes.

  5. To change the swing type, select either Left or Right from the Swing Type drop box. This determines which side the gate is hinged on.

  6. If you want to change how far the gate is open in 3D views, edit the percentage in the 3D Percent Open edit box. To change how far the gate is open in 2D views, change the percentage in the 2D Percent Open edit box.

  7. To change the dimensions of the top, middle or bottom rail, edit the rail parameters in the Rails area.

  8. To change the dimensions of the boards in a privacy or picket fence, edit the board parameters in the Boards area.

  9. When you’re done editing properties, click OK.
