Difficulty getting hex pattern on rotation

20yrs in autocad writing scripts and such with lisp. 2 days in Rhino/Grasshopper. Wow, what an amazing tool.

I'm struggling with getting my intended hex pattern fit to my rotated surface that I've generated in grasshopper by rotating a pair of bicurves. No matter what U, V and t values I use I can't get a "standard" hex layout. In fact, using a U or V modifier at all seems to destroy the hex grid entirely.

I've also tried arraying the curves and using a closed loft with almost identical results.

Thanks for any help.

A rotated surface has a "big-bang" point .. so a "standard" (I guess that you mean "equal" sized things by that) layout (based on U/V subdivisions) it's rather impossible.

1M Q's: Are you trying to deploy "equal" sized things (hexagons or whatever) in a given surface? (have you collections of "joined" surfaces == polysurface == brep in mind as well?).

1B Q: Do you know what Kangaroo is?

1Z Q: Do you mind a C# approach (code only - no GH components)?

BTW: Always post your definitions (rule N1 in this Noble Forum).

Lisp eh? reminds me the good old days, he he (OneSpace by H/P and other MCAD apps). Post some Lisp stuff of yours for fun (in the Name of Science, he he).

best, Peter
