Hi!
I have a grid of hexagons and pentagons achieved thru Weaverbird’s Dual Graph.
I need to prefabricate this in the future, so I have to make them planarized.
How can I achieve planarization with such shape?
Thank you people!

Are you certain it’s geometrically possible to planarize all of those hexagons without getting messy non-convex hexagons as a result?
A while ago I saw a pretty well checked definition that’s supposed to this, but it’s sample was a relatively simple convex surface and if I input anything significantly more dramatic, it glitched out and made polyline spaghetti.
Wow… Thanks for telling that! Perhaps you saved me a lot of wasted working hours in the future %)
It’s possible I’m wrong.
have you tried rebuilding the UV of that horn-shaped surface, using the “uniform” option of the command?
Right now the cells are generated by a random point population… How could UV help me?
Missed that part. Thought it was a regular hex grid.
All I know is that when I tried this with a loft that recurved from convex to concave, it made less of a mess after I evened out the UV, with wasn’t very uniform.
Could you please elaborate on the process?
Negative Gaussian curvature of a surface when tiled by planar polygons, with 3 meeting at each vertex isn’t possible without some of the polygons becoming concave.
Good afternoon Daniel,
I am trying to create planar panels using a custom grid, exactly like the MAAT museum
I have seen almost all of the threads and I cant seem to figure it out

The main goal is to have a majority of identical panels, and visually verify how many types of panels we have, and ultimately try to optimize it.
Would love if you had any insights!
