Planning a parametric truchet tile

“

- [Narrator] In the last video we looked at using reflectional symmetry to set up a simple hexagonal tiling design. In this video we'll dive a little bit deeper into planning for a variation on the true shade tile where each edge of the hexagon could line up with any other edge when we tile it. So I'm working in the Rhino file, hex-tiling.3dm. And I'll continue along with the grasshopper definition we made in the last video and that file is called 0080simplecustomtilefinished.gh. Now I've also got the grasshopper file 0070hexagonaltiling3dobject.ghopen and that way I can switch over to that file when I'd like to see how my pattern will tile. So let's see how that would work. (keyboard clicking) We'll go ahead and zoom in on the geometry component here. Just right click and let's bake this into the default layer. And I'll right click and disable preview. So now I've got this geometry in my Rhino file and I can switch over to my hexagonal tiling 3D object file. And set it as the input…
