honeycomb mesh on slope with FPP, How to

[CT3320]

Hi,
I have a bit of urgency on this
i have a screed embankment and i need to put a honelycomb mesh over the entire embankment, honeycombs are to be perp to the surface (as shown)
how can i scatter this single honeycomb so that it is fully covered
any ideas
will to pay someone that can do this for me if required
thanks

Hi,

To get such a hexagonal distribution pattern, you should deselect the Lock aspect ratio option and set the Distribution Map > Density values correspondingly - in the case of the Full map, using two Forest objects would be recommendable. By using the Grid 3 map, it's possible to archive it in one Forest object.

Let me mention, that though such a task can be approached by both of our plug-ins, each one with its advantages. Probably the RailClone plug-in will suit better this task - there's the Hexagonal Padding macro for these purposes.

I hope that helps.

Best regards,

Hi,
thanks for that
i actually have Railclone but have a mental block wth it 

In reality this is flexible mesh, so I could use a single recatangle (with rounded corners)
Been at it a while now and just not getting the results,  DM me if anyone interested.
if someone can sort it I will happily pay - as I can't spend more time and no favourable results
Thanks,
Tom

For this scenario, the UV Surface mode will work better. The key step when using UV mode is to ensure the UV coordinates are properly defined - you can adjust them as needed with the Unwrap UVW modifier, for example. I’ve attached a modified version where I quickly mapped the surface to demonstrate this workflow. Additionally, splitting the object into two parts will likely yield better results. I hope this helps.
