Tutorial 3: Creating Large Size Perforated Pattern
9. Checking the final design by combined all sheet to give final result
The purpose of this step is to check whether the placement of perforated pattern on each sheet is properly arranged. By doing this, we can spot any mistake before conducting the next process to create the CNC program for each panel and then to manufacture them.

8. Identifying each sheet and saving individually for manufacturing
This step is trivial and the purposes are just to identify each panel for the next step in programming and manufacturing and save each sheet into individual file for clarity

5. Slicing the perforated pattern into vertical direction
The next step is to “slice” them in vertical direction. In order to perform this slicing step, you need to activate the orthogonal mode so the movement will only be in vertical or horizontal direction. Slice the perforated pattern as shown in the illustration below by using Select and Move command.

3. Generating the desired perforated pattern based on effective size
To generate the perforated metal pattern for this large façade is always about the designer‘s idea and favor. However, there are some useful tips that will be useful:
