Ive already attempted to model this is the best way I know how. I created an extrude. Then I set the working plane on the faces that gets the vents. Extruded to the vents to the correct depth and then did a duplicate array in the z axis to get the duplication.
At this point I went to plan view and selected each row of vents and subtracted it from the main extrusion.
Is this the best way to model? Reason I ask is I have only this part in the drawing, and the subtraction command takes almost 2 minutes per each row. Then applying textures to the generic solid also take long.
Feels like it shouldn't be this slow. Modeling in 2017. Maybe Ill give it a go in 18 or 19. Only thing I can think if is each of the solid subtractions are what is slowing it down?
