How to smooth a surface made of hexagonal cells?

Grasshopper

Hi,

I would like to smooth a surface made of hexagonal cells but I don’t know how to correctly convert the lofted surfaces (frame + lateral faces) to meshes.

I have being trying to plug the Loft component to:

  • Mesh
  • Mesh Brep
  • Mesh Surface (via deBrep)

but the subdivided output (via wbCatmullClark) never shows a sign of smoothing.

Check the mesh normal directions, subdivision level…
See purple group.
