Hi guys,

Probably a very simple question but anyways here it comes.

Imagine if we have a Hex pattern, so I want to eliminate the parts circled in red, just them four bits. I was trying to take the longer way and placing them into a list and trying to work it manually but I am sure that there is an easier way. So is there a simpler way to get rid of these four bits?

The code is tiny but I have attached it and thank you so much.

In this case at least just by eyeballing, they’re the smallest by area, so sort by area and cull the first 4 elements.

Amazing, I had the same idea but was thinking if the cells are tiny. That’s very good thank you
