Hi,
Can anyone give me a solution as how best to go about creating a "wire mesh".
What i have tried is to create a solid flat (2mm thick) piece of material.
I then draw a diamond shape on the surface & extrude it so as to give me a void.
Then i use the rectangular pattern option.
The problem is that when i try putting in the amounts of the "holes" i need to brings up message to use optomized compute.
I do that and then when i click to crate all the "holes" it comes up with a pattern failiure error.
What other way can i use to create my object.
Thanks,

You will want to use a texture, becasue creating a rectangular pattern of a cut-out will cause extreme lag in your system.
I found that the textures are scaled low, so they don't show up well, but follow this old post and it should help you get your result.
Here is a more realistic Wire Mesh part. Just change the 4 User parameters to suit your needs. It's not overly taxing on the model. Can't remember where I found it but it's handy and you can 'bend' it.
Hi,
This is really nice part. Thank you for sharing.
I have one more question. How did you put function in the description of the part. See the attached screenshot.
