How would you model this perforated mesh?
-
hi is there any plug in inside of sketchup to help me model something like this? the idea is to perforate the steel mesh based in an image
-
You could use an imported PNG image with a transparency for the 'holes'.
It's easy to use Photoshop/Gimp to make the image suitable.
However, if you want a wall 'face' with 'real holes' in it, then you could search the Plugins Index for my 'ImageTrimmer' tool.
This takes a PNG image with a transparent 'background' and makes a 'cutout'.
It's normally used for cutting out 2d people and trees etc, BUT it will trim out 'holes' >= 2 pixels across... -
thanks this help me a lot but it really take a lot of time to model i think the first option is the best
