    Chain and GO is a simple tool that allows you to create chains of objects very quickly.
    The most obvious use case is for creating fences. Best described with a video:

    In this video I first show how the tool works with one of the prefabs included.
    After that I grab some random fence model from the asset store and show how easy it is to setup your own models. The stone fence is not included in this asset.

    Let me know what you think and what kind of features would improve this asset.

    Yes. Any prefab will work. Doesn't matter if it's null go or if you chain terrains together.

    Now available on the asset store!

    I really like this :) it made my fence building so much easier. I was playing with the randomRotation variable in the editor but I didnt notice anything different. Is it possible to have the fence not form a straight line? Im trying to get a rougher looking fence and having them all line up looks a little to perfect

    The random rotation child drop variables effect the 2nd level children of the LineObjectPrefab.
    In other words, the children of the child of the LineObjectPrefab. Take a look at the wooden fence example.

    If you need something else, let me know and I'll gladly provide!

    HI does it work with Unity 2017.

    I just tried to put it in my cart but it gave the Unity 4 warning.

    Thank you for any help.
