I have done a rolled sheet metal model, in my part studio. In the Flatten Part, I have added a sketch for extruding holes?
I have did several methods! but in none of them was giving the required result.
* Selecting the sketch and extruding the sketch to remove the holes. (Partial with multiple extrude cuts and Complete selection of sketch, extrude cut).
* Tried the fill pattern feature script (to remove the holes).
* Tried linear and circular pattern
Is it possible to add more no. of holes, Sometimes the GPU or browser giving error and model is not visible.
And Is there is any alternate for this issue!

Hey @Lightning_sree,
Did you try the pattern functions in the sketch or part studio?
I would suggest you only create one or two holes in the flat pattern and then use the face pattern.
You can also have a look at this Tech Tip: https://www.onshape.com/en/resource-center/tech-tips/tech-tip-how-to-create-faster-patterns-in-onshape
Let me know if it works. Otherwise you can share your document with permission to copy so we can have a closer look. Cheers1
