Unfortunately no super quick way comes to mind - just a grid,
duplicate as required and merge them into a single mesh. Unless you
could scripting, but then it's not really quick anymore if you count
the time spent coding it.

Cheers,

Thanks, this sounds promissing. Is there any easy way to make a polymesh
object that looks like a lattice (has all the internal point, as opposed
to a tesselated cude, which is hollow)? Or am I best just duplicating a
cube and merging the points or something?

Yeah, I can't a way to do so ;-(
