Gate System Designer combines a scaled property plan with gate units, walls, fencing, columns, equipment, and Section views. Work from the broad site information toward the detailed gate system, then save or export the finished plan.
This Help page describes the present working assumptions. More choices and project-specific controls can be added as the designer develops.
The plat uses decimal feet. The along-frontage coordinate runs from one end of the selected frontage to the other. The depth coordinate begins at the frontage property line and increases inward across the property.
Changing which side is the street/frontage rotates how the same frontage-and-depth coordinates are displayed. The values remain property-based rather than screen-based.
Construction coordinates are centerline coordinates, not outside-edge coordinates.
To keep a square post or column inside a property line, place its center at least one-half of its width inside that line. A 2-foot-wide column therefore needs its center at least 1 foot inside.
For a wall, the same principle applies across its thickness: half the wall thickness lies on each side of the entered centerline. For an angled wall, that half-thickness extends perpendicular to the wall line.
This region contains the physical gate-system work in top-down order: numbered gate openings, shared site construction, saved-gate assignments, and the equipment belonging to each assigned gate.
The System components sidebar remains at the right throughout this region on wider screens. It shows the shared masonry, capstone, post-cap, post-top-light, column-face-light, plaque, and photo-eye catalogs, together with reference cards for emergency and magnetic-lock equipment. On narrower screens it moves below the controls.
Choose the construction type first. The form then reveals the dimensions and materials that apply to that type.
Gate locations / numbered gate openings establishes each opening on the plan before assignment. A saved gate-only design can then be assigned to the corresponding marker.
Locks and safety devices belong to a particular assigned gate because their correct location depends on the gate type, movement, opening supports, and physical viewing side.
A Section view is an editable viewing line across the plat. Horizontal sections look either inward/up or outward/down; vertical sections look left or right. The viewing-depth limit determines how far beyond the section line objects may be included.
The standard fresh plan begins with two front views: the roadway/ingress side and the property-looking-out side. Additional perimeter presets can be added and edited.
Before saving a production-oriented plan, verify the drawing information, plat size, property orientation, construction centerlines, actual member dimensions, gate assignments, support choices, and Section-view directions.
