This Grasshopper definition is a translation of a Rhinoscript which was written to tile a surface in Rhino with a hexagonal pattern. User now has the control of the U and V subdivisions of this surface, resulting in the user being able to control the resolution of the tiling pattern. The definition uses relatively few components to achieve this solution thanks to the VB.NET component implemented into this version of Grasshopper. The VB.NET component allows for the subdivision points to be organized and ordered for the creation of the lines on the surface.

HI,
I am an architecture student working on a hosing project. I am trying to use this definition, but nothing happens after i select my surfaces. I am new to grasshopper. Is there anything I have to do after selecting surfaces to generate the hexagonal pattern?

Thanks for sharing. I am not very experienced in VB and your component is a great extension for GH.
Thanks a lot.

hey
it works really well thanks. could u perhaps tell more about how i can extrude these points from a 3d surface?? that would be really helpful.
p.s. I cant seem to bake the curves into rhino format and extrude them in the normal rhino way
