How to model braided rope?

Hello! I would like to model a braided rope. It does not have to be functional but rather just have the appearance. Since what I want to make is a little more detailed than the picture I cannot juust make a pipe and try to make something work with adding custom appearances. I tried making a weave and bending it using unfolding and folding a sheet metal flange as is this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwvVqswWjfs&t=308s . But it didn't work. Any recommendations would be highly appreciated!maxresdefault.jpg

Hi, Mrs MariaHagnell, Braid's Posters and Sympathisers,

 

I will present a separate post titled 'Braids in our lives" soon.

It will not directly answer how to achieve the effect presented in the picture in the foundation post by MariaHagnell.   It won't be a 'fish&chips' solution, but rather how to 'knot a net' to cast for one.

Excellent work. Well done. Is it possible to obtain this file in STEP format?

I work with Solidworks and would like to adapt this braiding principle.

Thank you in advance.
