Can Guests not see through fences?

[Salticus]

Just to be clear, I am talking about the aquatic fence here, which you can see through very well. I have a zoo where I have a wall and then the aquatic fence on top, on eye-height. Visitors never looked into the habitat from there. Then I removed or lowered the fences, the guests would suddenly use the viewing spots. Am I imagining something or are those fences seen as solid?

What is the aquatic fence?
A screenshot would be great.

I'm assuming you mean the construction object fences.
Although I do not know specifically if they can see through the aquatic fence, I can tell you that the construction objects that guests can see through is a short list.
Even some of the glass walls block their view, or at least used to (I haven't seen a fix in any patch notes but that doesn't mean it hasn't been done).

The fence you get from the aquatic DLC. I don't know what it's called in english, maybe I didn't translate it properly.

Hmm, that's unfortunate. I guess I will have to change every barrier in my Zoo now.

It is named "Aquatic Fence" in English in the game as well.

Have you considered just lowering it so guests can see over the top of it? Animals cannot move through construction objects, so height isn't required to block their movement.

Do you mean the thick Glass Barrier? It should work. My Guests stand in Front of it all the Time to watch the Big Cats

Screenshot is here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/? Guests apparently can't see through the barrier on the right side, but can with the one on the left. Camera is about at Eye level. id=2456259467

That's what I originally did and what led me to discover that the guests apparently can't see through the fence. It's just that my barriers consist of multiple groups, which I all have to edit individually.

He's talking about the "aquatic fence" under construction-Props-Fences in the construction objects.
It looks to me like guests SHOULD be able to see through it, but I've never used it at a height where they couldn't see OVER it...so I don't know for sure.

I don't use building elements. I just use the watertight barriers. Gusts can see through those fine.
