Create hexagonal grid lines

Using Hexagonal allows you to create hexagonal grid lines.

Components used: ① XZ Plane ② Hexagonal

Enter the plane and coordinate information into the Hexagonal(P).

This time, we are inputting the plane created from the X-axis and Z-axis in XZ Plane.

Enter the numerical value of the hexagon’s radius (the distance from the center point to the vertex) into the Hexagonal(S).

This time, we entered 1000.

Enter the number of hexagons in the X direction into the Hexagonal(Ex).

This time, we entered 40.

Enter the number of hexagons in the Y direction for the Hexagonal(Ey).

This time, we entered 20.

Then, as shown in the image above, a grid of 40×20 hexagons was created, each with a radius of 1000.

In this way, you can create hexagonal grid lines in Hexagonal.

Let’s take a look at the data output from Hexagonal.

Additional Components: ①Curve ②Point

The Hexagonal(C) outputs hexagonal line data.

The Hexagonal(P) outputs point data for the center point of the hexagon.
