Need to place an hexagon pattern on a brep

[Sergio_Artacho]

Hi Everyone,

I have a complex surface (STEP file). This turns to be an “open polysurface” in Rhino.

I am trying to apply an hexagonal pattern (radius 25mm, wall thickness 1.5mm, height 3mm) on top of the surface, together with “ribs” (0,5mm height, 0.5mm width) from the vertices to the center of the hexagon.

The workflow I wanted to use is with the Surface Morph as the “Hexagon Cells” from Lunchbox works pretty well, but as it’s an open polysurface I have to do it 10 times across each divided surface, ending with a pretty weird pattern.

Anyone knows a way to solve this? I have try with Meshes and end up not having a sharp edge. Perhaps there could be an option to import it as a timmed surface or a different workflow.

Any idea is welcome.

Thanks in advanced!

See if ShapeMap can help you.

Great! It’s quite useful. I am having trouble later when trying to apply the geometry I want as it only maps curves and points, not breps. However it’s getting quite better. I have work around it with Dentro and I have something decent.
