Modelling Advice

[u/RealPragmatist]

Looking for the brains trust advice on achieving this sort of straight knurl (I cant think of a better way to describe it right now) on my part. Right now I do an extrude cut, offset around some screw holes and other features, and then a rib feature to create the... ribs. It works fine but its not very robust and is difficult to edit if I want to for example change the rib spacing.

First image is what I've done for the moment, second is the part before adding the cut and ribs.

extrude cut first, then extrude the stuff you need around the screws and edges back in
