@hannah_dill, consider exploring the "Face curves" feature script. I did not accurately capture the surface shape that you are going for, but here is a crude approximation:

If it is only for aesthetic purposes and the net lies on a flat plane, the wire mesh custom feature is probably what you're looking for:

Is the mesh a sort of "balloon" for this? Then it will probably be a bit more complex. Ideally, do you happen to have an image of the physical product?Get in touch: contact@alnis.dev | My personal site: https://alnis.dev

Here is a modification of @matthew_stacy document using loft instead of fill. Is it closer to what @hannah_dill looking for?

@leonid_raiz694 I was not able to access your document. Please check the share settings and re-post the URL. The screenshot certainly looks good though.I must admit I don't yet have a strong enough intuitive sense of when to loft instead of fill and vice versa. But in this case, loft is clearly the better choice. I like it.0
