Default diamond plate flooring; also something looking like a metal beam mini-pediment?
Basically a low-to-the-floor fence, a mini-pediment that looks like it's metal rather than cement. Like a piece of train rail? I have a house trailer on a lot, and in order to get the trailer hitch to look right, I used the porch foundation, (diagonal pieces, to make it come to a point), and was going to cover it with a diamond plate flooring. But then, after a massive cc purge, I lost the diamond plate and now can't remember where I got it from. But I was thinking that a better solution would be to place mini-pediments along the edges of the porch (only, with a metal look), and then cover the top with an invisible tile. Yes, the invisible tile will probably still have a visible edge, so that might be enough for this insignificant project. But a metal beam could be useful in a number of other situations as well. And I would still like the diamond plate for industrial-type building projects.

As an aside, can anyone tell me why walls/floors gets their own WCIF category? Is it because semantically they can't really be considered "Objects"? Just curious.

Don't know what diamond plate flooring is, but walls and floors aren't objects. They're build mode items.

Yeah, I think I've seen that set before, when I was looking for deco wheels for something or other, and I didn't end up getting it. But, that hitch is better than the one I have now, so... thanks!

It's textured sheet metal with little embossed diamond shapes for non-slippiness; they use it for delivery truck ramps and that kind of thing. For Sims purposes, I can always find the diamond plate countertops, (which I would find extremely annoying in real life as a work surface), but for flooring, I've only seen it once, and I can't remember where. It must've had a nondescript file name, or I probably wouldn't have accidentally trashed it.

I have found some on TSR, but it's black, instead of the much more common bare metal color. And it's kind of weird-looking on the screenshot, as if they had a hard time getting it to tile correctly, or something. Here's the link for that, if it's helpful.

Okay, never mind all that... here it is, right on MTS. Doh!

Ah! The mystery is solved. It's a Sims2Pack... hence the inscrutable file name.

I would still like to find a ground-level steel beam fencing option, though.
