IL2 FMB 'fence-laying' utility. It's out there somewhere!

Hi all,

Somewhere out there is a little utility for laying objects repeatedly in a straight line. I'd like to use it for laying perimeter fences.

If you know of one please let me know! Thx for any help with this. Searches have surprisingly come up with nothing.

Could it be the [Quick]ObjectTool by JG5_Tigger, you're looking for?

Looking into it Artist. Thx.

Remember that the stock IL-2 FMB now has Copy and Paste capabilities. So, with a little imagination, you can easily make a long length of fence using the Copy and Paste functions.

+1, even though it's a pain lining them all up right!

@Aviar: Good call, thx. I haven't started using copy 'n paste yet. Time to get on to it.

I'll tell you what. I use Copy and Paste all the time now. It's one of the best new FMB features.

If Copy & Paste doesn't work as well as you like here is v3.02 of the Quick Object Tool by Jg5_Tigger at Check-six.

You can use Snap function, so that each object is added to the grid points exactly where you want them. Then uncheck Snap function and then use multi select so you can move, rotate the group of objects where you want them.
