[OPEN] Cannot connect fences to house with foundation

Sure if you search the gallery for "Grey Hallow" my it should be the latest one, under the same username.

I've also uploaded a video (apparently .avi is not valid....maybe considering that's what the game records as that should be reconsidered? lol https://youtu.be/AwL9QPX9FTM it's only 3seconds), unfortunately the error doesn't show but it says conflicting block clusters.

As proof you could do this prior to the update my other build, "Cullen Family Home Gen 1" (Fits in the vampire world) has a front left fenced area on ground level connecting to a one block high foundation, and a back yard hedge which connects to a house with foundation as well as a porch. If I remove and try to reconnect these in my current save it works fine but not on my new build, on Grey Hallow it's always errors.

EDIT: For clarity I have edited my OP to explain the fence needs to be ground level touching a foundation. Since platforms it hasn't worked for me.

EDIT 2: I was unable to test this on my previous build before the update today but I wonder if the update had some kind of compatibility mode for old builds as a workaround to get stairs working, or if it's using different settings somehow for older lots. My older lots are behaving exactly as expected, but not my new save with completely new lot.

I have the same problem, but I can fix it just by extending the fence by clicking the fence itself and move the arrow to connect it to the house.

I have always found it depends what direction you draw the fence. If you start off at the building and drag the fence away, then the fence goes up and down with foundation. If you start away from the house and drag towards it before joining to the house then the fence stays stuck to the ground.

I don't think you fully understand what the problem is. I'm doing that and it's telling me it can't draw the fence because of "conflicting block clusters" error.

If I try that it doesn't work either. It just gives me the same error "conflicting block clusters".

 If I start with a completely new fence that was never joined to a wall on a foundation it accepts joining to whatever height block you take it to.

I don't want the fence on a foundation though, I want it on the ground. I'm glad you found part of the issue though hopefully they can fix that and maybe it will fix mine too. I want these fences on the ground, my previous builds do allow that. I'll try deleting the fence and see if that helps.

@yuk75Ok I can replicate this with difficulty. Basically if the fence was once drawn from a wall on a foundation, even if you delete the bit that was touching that wall and lower the fence so it no longer has a foundation, you get that error when you try to join it to a block on a foundation of a different height from the original wall it was joined to. If I start with a completely new fence that was never joined to a wall on a foundation it accepts joining to whatever height block you take it to.  If this is the same as what is affecting your build, then you probably have to delete all the existing fences and start over, after you have all your room blocks at the height you want them to stay.
