Description
This tool draws an array of ventilation slots (air holes), often used in electrical enclosures or machinery panels.
- Slot Generation
- Creates elongated slots with rounded ends.
- Array Function
- Automatically copies the slots upwards to create a ventilation grille pattern.
- Shape Adaptation
- Depending on the quantity and dimensions, the shape representation might simplify (e.g., to a simple rectangle or semi-circle for large counts/small scales).
- Input
- Requires a start point, slot width, slot height, top fillet radius, total count (vertical array), and pitch (vertical distance between slots).
