Modeling lot's of holes?

If I make it.
I think we’re going to create a pattern and then we’re going to rotate it to the array modifi.

Select modeling/mapping according to your purpose.

This will make it easier to modify and map.

Yeah, give me a few minutes ( Im climbing in a huge GN node tree and not getting the outputs to the modifier I was expecting…in the process of regrouping everything and re-grouping…ackk)

I think the problem is you have 1 hole…and I created a sheet of holes…
Show you in a few…

OK…here is my file…Instead of a single hole, I made a Sheet of Holes ( as I used it on a cylinder when created)

and that allowed me to map the holes to the UV easier…

will try to test that later on today

there is another older way i found
using the bevel and wireframe modifier to do it with square holes
wish there was some rounded holes instead LOL

thanks

I just made up a new hole sheet with Inkscape… Just using grid functions ( new version 1.2.2 is a bit more complicated from the old)…

also…I used a GN radial Array, far simpler to set up…
