Convert 2D pattern in Excel to a 3D CAD model in Fusion 360

[Anonymous]

I have a 2D pattern of square elements that are either open or opaque. My goal is to create 3D CAD models from the 2D patterns. The thickness of the structures is constant but the 2d pattern will change. I have attached an example 2D pattern. My hope is that I can automate the process, where given a 2D pattern from Excel I can easily generate the 3D CAD model. The black square elements in the image represent rectangular prisms in 3D while the white elements represent square holes in the structure.  I am new to Fusion 360.

Beyond my pay grade, but I think it can be done with a scrip or Addin.

You could ask in the API section of the forum.

To do it manually, it’s a Rectangular pattern of the prism, and suppress the white space articles.  You would need a knowledge of the create order of the black blocks, and suppress the correct ones by reading the excel data.

Might help....
