What is the best tool for modelling these trapezoid aluminum panels?

I'd use a Mass with infiled Adaptive Points component..with Repeat

Thanks for this demonstration. It will definitely be useful for some future projects.

The form that I'm looking for is flat, like in the picture bellow. The panel grid lines do not run in parallel to each other. So, I can't use Divide Surface... That's the problem.

Then like this?

if so , then the same procedure as the first but only with U Grid Lines and instead of V . use Add Edge to an extruded (vertical extrusion from Level 0) and modified Mass

How did you set the surface interior vertical lines to follow the shape of the plane? What I keep getting is this...

You could use Parts, btw is it a vertical surface?

Parts panels

@martijn_pater Yes. I'm thinking of using parts but I'm really curious about this <devide surface> method so I'm awaiting for a response from @constantin.stroescu .
