Objects on surface

Hey everyone, does anyone know if it's possible to morph two, or three different objects into the same surface so I can make some kind of pattern on it? or can someone think of an easier way to repeat different objects along the same surface?

Thanks!

Hi Aida, can you make a example drawing of what you mean?
P.S. How's the hexagon?

Hey Pieter, the hexagon is still giving me some trouble, but I followed your advise and used the hexagon grid and it was much easier! But now, I'm trying to put this hexagon unit around a surface (Imagine a "cylinder"), and I want let's say the bottom half of the cylinder to have Hexagon Unit 1 and the top half of the building to have Hexagon Unit 2.

Until now I've just managed to place hexagon Unit 1 in the whole surface with surface morph, but I want to know if there's a way to place another type of object (unit2) in the same surface.

I hope I was clear enough! If you have any idea of how to do this please help! Thanks

This is what I've been able to do so far...

Hi Aida, nice to hear you found it easier with the hexagrid. About the cylinder: isn't it an option (haven't tried it myself) to devide the cylinder in two separate cylinders, so you can use two SrfMorphs?

(B.t.w. this was my solution for your unit2 back then:
