Re: Pattern a pattern; basic fence model

3D CAD requires a little thought, a bit more and there can be a post at the end also.

Place the first sketch carefully around the origin, centred is usually the best, then use symmetry to advantage.

Re: Rotation of a selection of objects

Just examine the file I posted, use the space bar to make the first sketch visible then the pad and so on.....

The dev version has a drawing aid that allows this in the sketch but it is not parametric so crap really YMMV.
