[NOT BUG] Can't Place Fences after latest patch

I was playing the game for most of yesterday and today.  I was able to place fences in the Build/buy mode yesterday but I hadn't tried it earlier today so I don't know for sure if I was able to.  How...

    here's to a OH DUH moment it seems the game auto goes to 🏀 and i didn't notice it  until i was in build mode just five mins ago see my image to see 🏀

    make sure when in game selecting your fence that the (see image) 1 or 2 is selected if it is on 3 you'll run into the must be applied to a room

    1 place fence by drawing

    2 place fence by encolsure

    3 change fence thats where you'll get the must be applied to a room message as the fence needs to be there already to replace it so for example if you placed a wooden fence but now want a rope fence you apply the rope fence over the wooden fence to replace it

    edit typo

This has happened to me as well but I was never able to place a fence.  I get a message telling me it must be applied to a room so I'm unable to fence off property at all, no matter how far in I try.  I have not tried since the last patch but will update if it's changed.  Just wanted to add my experience with this.  I figured I'd work around that by using premade community built homes that had a fence around the property or garden area.  Oh yeah, I have tried removing an existing fence to put another up in its place but I am again confronted with that "must be applied to a room, etc." message.  Hopefully it will be addressed but it's a minor inconvenience for me at this juncture (in comparison to some other irritations I've encountered).  😕mileywink:

    same here even if an empty lot is chosen to build from scratch and one starts with  fenching the property off can't place  must be applied to a room

    the only workaround i did for this was to build walls the length i needed then used the slider in foundations to bring the fence to ground level unfortunaly the house foundations is brought to the same level having so that build won't need stairs to the front door , if i build a build that needs stairs up to the front door then the foundation level needs to slid up on the slider but the results are not good indeed and because the wall/fence if the foundation is raised you can't have gate in the fence unless you lower the foundation
