Planning a parametric hexagonal tile

- [Instructor] In this video, I'd like to…work towards a Grasshopper definition…for creating my own Parametric Tile Pattern…to use as the base geometry for…the hexagonal tiling algorithm we've worked on…in the last several videos.…Tiling is wonderfully complex and there's almost no end…to the variations or the complexity…we can create.…Right now, we'll just focus on the basics…creating a simple set up for a tile…that has some of the same properties…as our Truchet tile from the last video.…I'll be working in the Rhino File…hex-tiling.3dm and I'll expand the…Simple Custom Tile layer, and turn on…the Truchet Shapes layer and the Symmetry Diagram layer…and make sure the whole Custom Tile layer is on too.…

And in Grasshopper, I've got the files…0080SimpleCustomTile.gh open.…So, hexagonal tiles are so much fun to work with…because they have so many different kinds of symmetry.…Some tiling patterns have rotational symmetry,…some have reflection symmetry,…some actually have both.…So it really gives us a lot of options…in terms of designing something interesting.…
