Change Scale of Material Appearance

Hi All

I want to change the scale of an "expanded metal" material appearance. it is too small to see.

Is there a way of doing this?

In this screenshot I have zoomed right in to a very small section.

The actual aperture size of the expanded metal is far too small to see on a big piece

I want to decrease the scale so it becomes more like the actual expanded metal aperture size

Change the appearance of the document appearances? Double-click the image to open the texture editor for it, like the one below:

Have you tried the Texture Manipulator? Google's AI bot came back with it when I searched "inventor chance scale of surface appearance". I had forgotten that little grips appear on the textured surface when you select one and click the "Adjust" button up the top just to the right of the appearance box. Dragging one rotates the texture & another scales it.

 

If you could only easily change the basic colour of the texture would be nice too!
