I'm not sure how to report this - I have the impression that this is not a bug, but intentional. I don't understand why.
So when I place a roof next to my fences, the fence disappears.
This is usually a problem with historical buildings which commonly has this feature. I end up using half walls or debug fences but it's inconvenient because I can't style-match the rest of my buildings.
Doesn't work no matter how low the roof is or how high the platform I build is.
mandacaju I tested this and got the same thing you did. The roof will turn the fences invisible when they intersect the fence. In your case, the roof is ignoring the platform but treats the fence the same way it would if the platform wasn't present. By default, the build system will display the roof wall rather than the fence. I know of no way around it other than to modify the build so you don't have that condition. Hope this helps.
I found this while running into the same issue, but I actually found a little hack for it! I have twisted mexi's TOOL and betterbuildbuy, in case that matters, but I don't think it should. It looks like you're using half hipped roofs and surrounding the platform. Instead, use a hipped roof piece and drag it into the platform so that the peak is still where you would want it. The other half will hide inside the platform, and because the edge of the roof is not against the platform, it doesn't register as roofline. You will still have to use multiple roofs like you're doing in the picture, but by using full roofs instead of half roofs the fences will still appear.
I hope this helps!!!
Community ManagerHello all,
If any of you are still encountering this on the latest game version (without mods), would you be willing to share your save file(s)?
If so, please send me a private message with a link to the file. Instructions can be found here: http://x.ea.com/74420
Thanks!
I think the link you posted here is broken :(
I'm also having this problem on Xbox (so no mods) fences don't show up when they're adjacent to a roof edge even if the roof edge is super short. (picture the top of a mansard roofline) I tried getting around it by using platforms, but no dice. In the screenshot I'm posting, I have the fence dragged all the way across the front, but it doesn't show up where the tiny roof is. Same with the small bump out on the left.
