==Introduction==
This guide will show you how to properly create interior fences.

==Fence Model Sizes==
Not all fence props are the same size. Here's a list of the fence sizes that Portal uses:

*models/props_wasteland/interior_fence003b.mdl - 120l*120h
*models/props_wasteland/interior_fence003d.mdl - 64l*120h

When creating the fences, you'll have to lower your grid size a bit so they don't float.

==Fence Creation==

Create a <code>[[prop_static]]</code> entity and set its model one of the fence models and Disable the Shadows.

==Fence Doors==

Some fences have doors and they have a unique fence structure.

Create a <code>prop_static</code> entity and set its model to <code>models/props_wasteland/interior_fence003e.mdl</code> and Disable the Shadows.

Create a <code>prop_static</code> entity and set its model to <code>models/props_wasteland/interior_fence001g.mdl</code> and Disable the Shadows.

Another fact about doors is that instead of them being centered, they are always on the side of the <code>interior_fence003d</code> fence prop. If the fence you are putting up is 256 units tall, make sure the 128 unit fence above the the door is split into <code>interior_fence003d</code> models.

Position the models with the other fence props.

Create a <code>[[prop_physics]]</code> entity and set its model to <code>models/props_wasteland/prison_padlock001a.mdl</code>.

Go to flags and tick
*Motion Disabled

and untick
*Generate output on +USE

{{bug| The lock model is able to be destroyed by jumping on it or potential turret gunfire, to fix this, you can set the <code>Min Damage to Hurt</code> value to a high number so it doesn't break.}}

Position the lock with the door handle. You don't need a lock on both sides, but they are typically put on the side the player will first walk across them. {{clr}}
