Creation method#

There are two options for creating a Hexagonal Grid node.#

  • The first way to create a Hexagonal Grid node using the search list, which is opened by double left-clicking in the workspace. You can write the name of the node you need, or words associated with this node.
    • hexagon , honeycomb , grid
  • The second way is to select a Hexagonal Grid node from the menu that opens from the top left.
    • Menu > Tool > Grid > Hexagonal Grid

Steps#

  • Create a Hexagonal Grid node.
  • Connect the center of the first grid element to the first port.
  • Connect the hexagon radius to the second port.
  • Connect the number of grid elements in the OX direction to the third port.
  • Connect the number of grid elements in the OY direction to the fourth port.
  • Connect the spacing between grid items to the fifth port.

After creating a node, connect the center of the first grid element to the first port. To the second port, you need to connect the hexagon radius. To the third and fourth ports, connect the number of grid elements, respectively, in the direction of OX and OY. To the fifth port, connect the distance between grid elements. On the output port, you will receive the resulting hexagonal grid. On the output ports, you will get the result grid and hexagon centers.
