Hexagon Continuation

I posted previously about having no clue how to accomplish my current project in my architecture program. I needed to write a Grasshopper script and I admit I have nearly zero experience in Grasshopper.

I have a substantial amount of help from another member of the community, but I find myself stuck again.

I cannot get my hexagons to rotate in the XZ and YZ directions. I am not even sure what module I would use for that.
It was suggested that I rotate the planes before I actually create the hexagons, and in that scenario I encounter the same issue. I am not sure what module to use for that.

I am going to attach the two scripts I am working with right now. The one below the first is my current one. There is a hole where the rotation should be occurring, though. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
If you have not seen my first post, this is what I am attempting to accomplish:And these were the great instructions I was given originally:

Kevin,

Try this:

1. On each point place a XY plane

2. Rotate each plane in XZ and in YZ by random amounts (make sure you have different seeds in the random component)

3. Use the Polygon component to make a Hexagon on each plane. Use a new random component (with a new seed) for the diameter of the hexagons. Use a domain component and sliders to set the minimum and maximum random diameters.

4. You can make the curves into solids in a couple of ways:

4a. Input the hexagon curves into a planar surface component to make flat surfaces. Next extrude the surface in the direction normal to the plane to make a solid

4b. Extrude the hexagon curves in a direction normal to each plane. Then use "Cap Planar Holes" to make the extruded surfaces into solids. "

If anyone can help me with my most current issue, that would be extremely helpful.

Thank you,
Kevin

Lots of ramdom here. You can replace the Pop3D with any points you have.

Hannes,

This script is incredible. I don't know exactly what you did, but the result is absolutely beautiful. I think it is amazing what you did with the vectors. I was struggling with all the planes I had and I understand that you used a lot of random number generators, which you tied to a domain. I think it is ingenious.

Thank you so much for your help I am learning a lot from your script,

Kevin Miller
