Hello everyone,
I was wondering how you guys would go about this: I have a figure that’s made up of the hexagon on the left; and I would like to subdivide this figure into many hexagons, but I don’t know yet if I want it to be subdivided into 7 hexagons, 21, or more. I’ve been trying to write a script to do this but no luck.
I’m guessing there might be a good plug in for this or something. Please let me know!
There are a few more things that could be done to control the size, position and extent of the HexGrid but I would approach it like this:
For example, this version does a better job of controlling size and position but not extent…
Oops, I just noticed that this method does not produce your desired image, which appears to require something different… Overlapping hexagons? Would you care to elaborate? Post some code and/or geometry?
I jumped to the wrong conclusion again. 
Hi Joseph,
Thanks for the response, I got a couple ideas from them.
I see what you did but what I am looking for is more of a result like in this picture:
Well, that’s a different picture altogether, eh… You still haven’t posted any code/geometry 
If you can’t be bothered, neither can I. Wish I hadn’t touched this.
Hexagonal grid cut by another hexagon grid.
Region Intersection fails at some division counts for no reason, Clipper is more robust.

But your small hexagons are not aligned with the exterior “corners” of the original shape, as in the latest image posted:
The original post suggested that only discrete values are allowed?
subdivided into 7 hexagons, 21, or more
That pattern is achieved with 8 divisions instead of 6 (I changed the value to see what happened and forgot to reset).
I still don’t see where those 21 hexagons are though.
Looking at your code now, it appears that 8 and 2 are the only valid values for your ‘Nb divisions’ slider?
And that your ‘Global size’ slider could be Real (fractions) instead of Integer.
The original spec is poor. I know better than “playing” with threads like this, I broke my own rule.
This is actually what I was looking for! I was playing around with most of those components but wasn’t able to get to that point. Thanks for the help!
