Hi Hui,

Maybe instead of trying to offset the hexagon pattern, an additional inner (or outer) surface can be made, and then a hexagon pattern implemented on it, the same way you did with the original one (surface).

Does that help?

Hi djordje,

Thx for your reply, but what i need is to offset the hexagon to become a frame. 

This is  the example that i wish to achieve.

Thank you.

I misunderstood you, sorry. I understand now.

You can not offset those hexagon polygons, as they are not planar. That is why your offset looks like mess.
The solution would probably look like this:

But I am not getting the result out of the "sweep1" component, for some reason. I do not know why.
Somebody else may try to help you, sorry.

Either that or use a "pipe" component, but in that way you will get round profiles, not rectangular.

with lunchbox plug in and starling plug in. Only thing is the nurbs seam from rhino, but you can delete it after baking.
