Checker Plate & Steel Grating Texture Map

[mcrump28210]

Does anyone have a texture map that will simulate checker plate and industrial steel grating?  This would be for Inventor 2013.  Thanks!

There are a number that are shipped with Inventor, you will need to change the BMP scale to match your requirements. Look under the Appearance Icon (color wheel) just to the left of the Material box in the header.

Dang, looks like the mesh is gone, I guess that's why I have been using Showcase

I just use google images when a situation like this comes up.. You can easily find an image there to use as a texture

There is a Stainless Steel mesh, one can change the default settings.

Look in the Materials Library>Inventor Imperial Library>Expanded Metal: there are four different Appearances available.

Thanks for the tips Blair. I was after solid plate for a walkway and managed to get what I needed with your tips and Inventor's Diamond plate. I changed the image and scale, see attached image.

Oddly diamond plate was set to a custom image which does not have a scaling option. You have to zoom very close to see the texture!
