mesh extrusion

Hello everyone, I not really good using gh and I'm wondering how can I solve this problem that I have. I got a mesh from a experimento using kangaroo and now I want to move the faces from this mesh, the thing is if I want to move the faces the component ask me for a direction and I want to move the face with the same direction that it has already.

I know that I have to use a plane for each face to move it, but I dont know which one and how to get it.

Thanks a lot

Hi Andres

I understand you would like to place the hexagonal shape in every quadrilateral.
How should that happen exactly?

ok, sorry, may be I did not explain my self well. I want to extrude each face of the mesh, but at the moment to extrude the faces I want them getting smaller, the hexagonal shape was an example.

I was trying to solve it, I think that getting the center point to put the plane move the faces out and the new smaller faces to be a limit of the faces. Imaging the hexagon as a one face of that mesh and I want to get that result.

Have a look, if this suits your needs.

Giulio, hi.

I wondering how did you made the new face meshes with "mesh form scratch" component.

I was playing with this last nigth and today and i could not make different faces.

I want now them as a pyramid. I got the points from each face and I am trying to get it bu not. Cound you explain me that better, just if you want and I will be really gratefull about that.

Thanks a lot
