Could you share this file? ...It depends a lot on the structure of the mesh in this case, because you would have to convert it back to three values: Height, Width, Up-Direction (per face/surface). | |
| Aug 1, 2022 at 7:23 | comment | added | medafan53 | The idea is to convert the planes of the existing mesh into the hexagonal grid to convert to points to instance on, the examples I have seen are all using mesh primitive nodes to generate the positions of the points. If there is a way for that to be done, I don't know it and would like to know if anyone else does. I know the suggested techniques, and I know they will work, but if I can use the planes of the existing mesh so I don't have to then align them manually if there's a way I can just place the modifier on the structure and put the required walls in a vertex group. | |

Somehow you have to create the hexagonal pattern for your cylinders, no matter which mesh you then want to cut with Mesh Boolean. Therefore this is a duplicate. Or is your question more about aligning an existing mesh to another (e.g. along the normal and resized), rather than creating a hexagonal structure? | |
