    Hi,

    If you reply to the message thread in a browser you should see tabs across the top ("Compose", "Options"... ) - select Options and you should be able to upload a jpg/png image of what you are wanting to do.  A picture is worth a thousand words, so this would help I think.

    Without seeing the desired result I would guess at using chop rectangles within the original rectangle to obtain a complex polygon with holes in it. Or perhaps replace it with horizontal and vertical overlapping strips and then merge into a single shape?  There might be multiple ways of doing this...

    Best regards,

    Lawrence.

    thanks for your suggest. But I do not know how to write skill language to implement this, can you help me this in detail?

    I have posted some sort of screenshot as follow.I want to turn solid rectangle metal (upper screenshot) to mesh (down screenshot) when I press the bindkey.
