Cosmetic Pattern

Cosmetic Pattern

Cosmetic Pattern

(OP)
I'm trying to show a cosmetic pattern on a model to represent perforated sheet instead of putting holes in.
Try as I might I cannot get anything to show, the plate still remains a blank plate. Is there a view option that needs to be turned on or such like?

RE: Cosmetic Pattern

(OP)
Not sure, I can see the Real View Golden ball and chequer pattern / neon pattern work. How do Ic heck if my card (I assume you mean video card) supports Real View?

RE: Cosmetic Pattern

(OP)
Fell at the 1st hurdle, neither my Laptop manufacturer (Toshiba) or my graphics card type ( ATI Radeon HD 3470 ) are listed, sod it.

RE: Cosmetic Pattern

On a tangent to your specific question, I typically cut a small sample of the perf pattern in the sheet, and outline the overall perfed area with a sketch. The small area is used on the print for a detail of the pattern and the outline shows the area to be perfed. In the dxf file for the cutting machines we use either an array for the holes, or a G-code for the pattern.

Regards, Diego
