it depends what software youre using, blender will be vastly different from something like solidworks

Mainly, what mods are you looking to do? I work in CAD, 3d modelling and design engineering so i should be able to help, the top doesnt actually look too hard to do off the bat

I'm just trying to make the top and back panels fully perforated like the rest of the case but it looks so hard to model because of the ball mount things

Is the rear of the case not already perforated?

are you going to cnc this? If not you could use a pen to mark the holes just then, drill each out by hand, though that would take an ungodly amount of time, basically i dont believe you need to 3d model the panels to work out how to perforate them.

 

Also is it for performance or aesthetics that you want them perforated?

it's for both performance and aesthetics, I was just gonna order it from a metal working company I use here in japan which should work perfect

You could ship out your current panels/bring them to the shop  and have the guys pop it in the mill and mill out the extra holes instead of making the panels from scratch

oh okay that could work I never thought of that, would I just ask them to continue the perforation pattern across the panels and that's it or what should I do?

they don't allow this since it was already pre-bent, and the holes are too small for them to cut anyways
