I am trying to find out gap tolerances between different hexagons which will be punctured in an MDF sheet. In order to do that, I used relative item to match the centre points of individual lines on hexagons . The matching is going fine for every alternate set of rows and getting messed up as well in alternate rows because I don’t know how to specify two sets of offset paths.
I mean, I could show you how to determine this geometrically, but given that the grid size is uniform, and the hex offsets (at the moment) are too, isn’t this just math?
The grid size is uniform just for now because I was figuring out the data management. It helps in seeing all the hexagons all together when dealing with complexity of data trees.
I have disconnected the ‘remap numbers’ component as of now as seen in the screenshot too and used just one scale value.
I have managed to cull-out the inappropriate, ugly looking connections by adding an odd-even logic in the end. But I don’t know how to blend in and create the new short, proper connections now.
The nice thing about Curve Proximity is that it will give you the smallest tolerance even with twisted holes. And that it gives you the distance directly.
I thought about that. The thing is you might have to align the trianglar grid against the hexgrid, and Dual Garph will accomodate more unusual polygonal grids including custom made ones.
