Moon Wall with Gate
============================
The moon gate is an ancient Chinese landscape element that acts as a portal between gardens as well as between inside and outside. The shape of these gates, a circle rising up out of the land, has many meanings.
One interpretation of the moon gate is that it is complete, representing and celebrating the cohesiveness of the family. This complete circle provides entry to a pathway for the family members to return home to celebrate one another.
Another interpretation is that the moon gate, as it lifts itself out of the landscape, is symbolic of birth and renewal. The birth of a new moon becomes the way in which time is marked and the new comes about.
Yet another interpretation is that the moon gate is, like the moon, a connection to other planets and other worlds. The moon gate, traditionally designed as an opening in a wall, connects garden to garden, inside to outside, public to private.
Create a unique and whimsical flavor at your home. With this 7 piece set, you can create about any size and shape wall you want. You get:
* Wall with moon gates with pilaster lamp (pictured on the box you purchased.)
* Wall with moon window with pilaster lamp. A round picture window embedded in a fanciful wall.
* Wall segment, Single with pilaster lamp
* Wall segment, Double with pilaster lamp
* Pilaster lamp
Each wall segment has a pilaster lamp attached at the end of it. All items are COPY MOD so you can remove any unwanted lamps or stretch elements that may not quite fit. The builder's set is a 100% mesh set of construction pieces which will allow you to build a wall just about any shape and size. The wall looks realistic and the rustic copper gate has a great clanking sound when it is closed.
Each wall segment's root prim is the pilaster lamp, so positioning them becomes a breeze. If you use firestorm, copy and paste the position of each segment and then rotate the segment into place. The Wall and Moon Gate piece comes as a multi part object, so when rezzing it, we suggest you have edit mode active, making it easy to position all the pieces.

Great design
This gate is very well done and looks amazing. The only thing is, I really only needed the gate and not the walls. It would be more flexible to use if the gate itself was separate from the walls. If the gate could be added separately to two plasters or plasters with lantern, it would be perfect and would reduce the prims. For my project, I really only wanted the gate and hoped it could be unlinked from the walls, but alas, no.
