Hi guys, 
i'm trying to design this Holder for some tools in my workshop. I want to have a meshed bottom. How do I create a surface out of this grid? Is it possible to "sweep" a block around all parts of the grid and how? It should look like this at the end.

Your sketch could be used with the Grill tool to make this part.  Start by extruding the outline of the part as a solid sheet, then use your grid sketch to create the Grill feature:

Just another possible technique since you already made the sketch
