i don't care if its slotted or a square pattern, its a grille for the intake and exhaust of my furnace, designed to keep bigger bugs and leaves out.

im still very new to designing things, so im sure there is something very simple im missing

thanks!

Create a sketch on the face.  Draw a suitable pattern in the sketch.  The only requirement is the boundaries have to be closed (all line and curve endpoints meet).  Once you have a nice pattern in the sketch, Extrude it and Combine it with the frame.  Experiment with Circular and Rectangular patterns.

It's simpler to use 3D-pattern tool. No needs to trim bunch of lines. So, it can be easy adjustable in the future.
