Expanded metal

Recommended Posts

Here's an Expanded Metal part with a texture on which will stay put on the part when the dimension of the Block feature is changed. The part is transparent due to the texture on the front and back faces. This makes it more easy to place an expanded metal part in the scene, then to actually model it rolleyes.gif

 

The Part Name in the Scene Browser will update with the dimension and thickness (only if you have IronPRO XT or IronCAD Mechanical, created with the Code Generator tool).

Bonus!

Here's a catalog with different 3D Workers:

YES! I wish i had seen this post many months ago because for a long time we struggled with representing wire cloth and mesh screens without bogging down the system and a google image download and a few clicks later and this is what we came up with also and it works very well. Most of the time it's hard to tell its not a real part until you zoom way in.
