Hi Alexander, do you mean to scale the hexagons in y direction only? If so, ScaleNU component can do that.

Hi did you find this in the Function of Ornament from the FOA Spanish Pavillion project?  If not, you should check it out because it has a lot of overlap.  I tried to model that tiling pattern, and the best method I found was to lay out a hexagonal grid and then define vectors from all of the center points to the vertices, and adjust the vector lengths.

true, adjacent hexagons do overlap, since they share the same edge

one way to fix it is to use weavebird, you can weld adjacent faces together

I take it you meant me;) I cleaned it a bit and -just for fun- made a variation too. Reading the discussion I was beginning to doubt whether I understood your question correctly...
