If you need a visual, I can post a picture of the actual model that I built.

From Objects Online we have used the 'Infill Screen' very successfully simulating chain link fencing. Goto http://www.objectsonline.com/customer/product.php?productid=115739&cat=718&page=4 .
They have many other screening/fencing products listed under Archicad/Construction Elements/Fencing & Railings. Hope that's what you're looking for.

In general, and IMHO, screens, wire fencing, etc. are best represented by an alpha-masked texture material with a corresponding fill that produces the desired linework in elevation ... unless you need to cut sections through the wire or lathe and have those sections look accurate at a high scale, or have extreme close-up views.
The image-applied-to-surface approach eliminates thousands of polygons that would otherwise slow down your model for no reason.
As Link says, this has been discussed as length over the years both here (search) and the old escribe archive (also searchable).
Good luck with your project.
