"Hi Adrian,
I'm glad the definition was helpful, I remember seeing some old treads about populating surfaces with the same hexagonal component, I'll search on my computer at the office tomorrow to see what I can find.
When you say you…"

Adrian von der Osten replied to Adrian von der Osten's discussion Rotating individual components populated along a grid"Thank you so much Evert and Paolo for helping us!
We were able to follow and understand the logic you guys set up for building the component and determining the coordinate direction. we are going to try and figure out a strategy for dividing the…"

good work!

Evert Amador replied to Adrian von der Osten's discussion Rotating individual components populated along a grid"Hi,
I found this very interesting and had a go.
The enclosed Definition works on any surface, you can control the X and Y number of divisions and how the arcs are contructed.
Re-reading the initial post, I missed to be able to rotate the…"
"Sure, I think it is possible.
example: you can read the surface curvature finding the closest point on the surface of the hexagon centroid, and using this value as input to set the rotation...
In the attached file you can find an incomplete idea…"
Adrian von der Osten replied to Adrian von der Osten's discussion Rotating individual components populated along a grid"Thank you Paolo for your reply. We were able to generate the panels to flip they way we liked using your modified definition.
We anticipated the vectors (highlighted in image below) that determine the direction of the component's build will…"
"This is a quikly prototype to add random rotation to every component, but I have some doubts about how it could be works with curved surfaces...
Check it and keep the discussion update.
Bye

"For exagonal grid on curved surface you can look at this definition of CO-DE-IT

What kind of control do you need about the…"

Currently This definition creates a component that is propagated onto a flat hexagonal pattern, we were able to rotate the field of panels uniformly. we have yet to achieve our goal which is to distribute it across a curved vertical surface and to have the control to rotate the panels individually.any feed back will be much appreciated :)…See More
