hexa divide problem v0.gh (112.0 KB) R8, No plugin. I like to subdivide a hexagon into 3 quads using the sequences {center,0,1,2}, {center,2,3,4}, {center,4,5,0}. It is very easy to handle a single hexagon, but when there is more than one, there arises a tricky data tree issue I cannot solve. Ev…

Thank you! But it still has the same problem, doesn’t it, when there are many hexagons. [image]

You might have to move the curve seam first so the points are in the right order.

Oh, I guess I didn’t explain myself properly. My problem is how to divide branches of points of 6 into 3 subbranches (insert the average point of the branch into every subbranch) and keep the original data structure by going down 1 layer deeper. So, it is like {0}[0,1,2,3,4,5], {1}[0,1,2,3,4,5] …

Or you type this into a panel once? [image]

Thank you! I got it and it works beautifully. But I still wonder if there is a way to subdivide branches and insert the center points into the subbranches. Or is that a limitation of the original data tree manipulation tools? [image] I mean I can think of a brutal way to duplicate every branch o…

Also: [image] or [image] but won’t work for non-planar hexes

This is another way with native components: hex-quad.gh (20.0 KB) [image]

For non-planar hexes, assuming you’ll provide the vertex average: [image]

:eyes: I love you guys, but what is with all these convoluted solutions involving meshes and Path Mapper ? Unless they have been remapped, polylines always have discontinuities at whole number params. So, you can get subcurves at known domains (0 To 2, 2 To 4, and 4 To 6), stack the polygon center…

Not at all. Everyone uses their own approach, we all aim the lighter approach possible.
I think it’s about how we define light (how much components and/or how much logics and/or how much computationally heavy)
