What is the best way to make or show expanded metal and perforated plate?
(OP)
I'm wondering if there is a good way of creating expanded metal and perforated plate in Solidworks? I'm currently using extrude cut then fill pattern and making the pattern larger so there aren't as many cuts, but this method slows down my computer.
Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

I also tried modeling the expanded metal pattern at a larger scale - so the appearance is valid but the rebuild times are less. this method really depends on what accuracy you need in the views or renderings.
