Help with woven wire mesh

Hi,

Not sure if this is in the right section to post in.

ill say this first before i go further into my problem. I have had no official solidworks training as of yet - start in two weeks. My MD insists that i should still be able to use the program to its full extent though so im trying to get a head start with one of the first major steps into converting to solidworks.

I am trying to draw woven wire mesh / mesh, all different shapes and sizes but havnt a clue how to get anywhere. I have tried before now but somehow got nowhere.

Im wondering if there are any tools that can help me? Maybe i need to do something with sheet metal as a template and somehow edit that sheet?

After reading some stuff on the internet i can only seem to find people talking about mesh effects and such.

Any help or advice would be great.

Thanks.
