Pergola Wizard

Draw the rectangle, circle or polygon in the main editor first, then choose Pergola in the Hardscape Add panel. Select the prepared outline when the canvas asks for it. With one compatible shape already selected, the wizard can open directly. The wizard opens a full-window workspace with a preview; it does not ask you to draw inside an inspector sidebar.

In Height & Posts, configure height, Post Shape, Post Size, Max Spacing and Edge Inset where offered. A circular footprint exposes Perimeter posts and Ring Beam settings. Review the resulting support arrangement in the preview.

In Beams, choose Beam Direction, Number of Beams, dimensions and Overhang for a straight-edged layout. Circular layouts can use Radial Roof Beams, with the beam count derived from perimeter posts. Read the controls shown for the current footprint.

In Slats, Enable Slats requires supporting beams. Set slat width, thickness, gap and Slat Overhang. The displayed shade indication describes the chosen layout. If beams are disabled, turn them on before adding slats.

In Wood style, select an offered finish. Weathering and Moss coverage adjust its appearance. Inspect the affected wood members in the preview; separate surface roles can have their own appearance settings.

Use Back and Next to inspect the wizard settings and preview. Correct any validation message before applying. Apply on the final step creates or updates the object; Cancel leaves without applying the current wizard draft.

Select the placed object to use the Inspector’s available editing controls. Whole-object wizard settings and individual Structure editor member edits are different operations. Reapplying a wizard can ask how to handle existing member edits; read that choice before confirming. In the Structure editor, Done keeps member edits and Cancel attempts to undo available changes back to entry.
