Hi Michael,

thank you for getting back to me so quickly!

I mean, my circles are in the centre of the hexagons, I need to connect the two elements together. The only way i can think of doing that, is by

splitting the circle and joining the points to the hexagon...

then making a surface.....

Oh so like thisThe part in purple will let you rotate the seam of the top circles, allowing a twisting effect. attached is the definition and rhino file. Let me know if you have questions.

Or like this?Components are: Polygon>Brep components>Evaluate curve>Fit circle through points. NOTE: rightclick the c input of evaluate curve and click reparametrize. This will set the length (domain) of any line from 0-1 letting .5 give you the center of the line.
