Hexagon on a closed surface

Here is a hexagon script I have been working on. I collected a bunch of Hexagon scripts online. None of them were working right! Either one works on an open surface or the polygons are not connected. The ones that just create tubes are not well "pathed". With this one you cancreate operations like attractors for the openings. It took me a while to re-write it and now it works perfectly!

This does not work in the latest version of Grasshopper.
Is there a working file?
Thank!

Comment by El Ger on February 5, 2012 at 12:28pm: Hi everybody! I´m a beginner and I`m looking for a possibility of a hexagonal paneling like a box paneling with morph geometry (here the tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUqiXaF9w3A). So, I want to put my rhino-prepared hexagonal pattern elements (3D, not flat) into a grid (consisting of hexagonal "bounding boxes"). And to apply all it on a rhino surface. Uff, hope you`ll understand my "beginner" problem description. Is it possible or are there similar ways to do it? Thanks!

pretty cool definition you have, great that u share it!!

..i am trying to get the centroid of each hexagon and get the normal to the srf in that point. any clue?

thx!!!!

I wonder how you did the gradient size in the second series of hexagons?

Comment by RWNB on March 9, 2011 at 10:20am: dear OrNouveau,

sorry for my late response and thank you very much.

It is strange that this is the only seemles hexgrid that i ever see!

apparently it is not so important???

again many thanks!

Comment by OrNouveau on February 23, 2011 at 1:01pm: @RWN8,

The 0.8 upgrade of Grasshopper has changed the surface division definition. So if you can flip the surface you will get the seam with the definition I uploaded. Hope this helps...

Comment by RWNB on February 23, 2011 at 4:05am: dear OrNouveau,

thank you for Hexagon Cells...

i've tried your definition, but unfortunately it still results a seam.

maybe I had done something wrong and you can explain it to me.

Comment by magicmail on February 13, 2011 at 10:29am: Thanks for your explanation. However, I am very new in this program and cannot get the same result. From the picture, those double membranes connected with curves, not straight lines. How did you loft those members by curves? If possible, can you share the definition of whole object that had lofted those two membranes? I really like this figure, thank you so much.
