Hi,
I'm looking for a way to make an appearance for grating of a platform.
But i don't have a clue. The inventor appearance expanded metal 02 looks a little bit to what i need but i need 30mmx30mm checkers and these are more like 3x3..
How can i make them larger? or does someone have a texture that i can use?
Thanks.

Hi There,
Ok so first of all, Please have a look at my screen shot while reading the steps:
PS I would duplicate Expanded Metal 02 and name it "Test" and then go change the properties
I have found that for the expanded metals one needs to adjust the image in the "Cutouts" section to have an appropriate effect on the appearance.
Yes, i noticed it to when adjusting the size.
Always adjust the cutout scale too!
Thanks for the help!
Hi Michael,
Only problem I have with your suggestion is it will make your part extremely big/heavy and if your PC is not strong enough it will crash. The only time I will do someting like that is when I actually want to get the correct mass. but for presentation perposes I would rather change the material as it is not making my part heavy
