Have you considered that plates such as expanded metal, five-bar etc. are actually a kind of standard component? You don't make it yourself, you buy it like any other sheet metal and can get it with certain predetermined dimensions.

Here we take a look at what you can do with a simple block (an extrusion) with a good texture to it! You can also control the behavior of the Sizebox handles with the desired MinMax dimension and control of snap steps.

Download the texture Metalmesh2.png here. It is also included when installing our Metric customized installation and then ends up in the image folder here C:\Program Files\IronCAD\2025\Images
