HexWall Function Documentation

Overview

The HexWall function creates a hexagonal wall structure with specified dimensions and properties. This function is useful for generating hexagonal patterns in 3D models.

Arguments

  • length (float): The length of the hexagonal wall.
  • width (float): The width of the hexagonal wall.
  • height (float): The height of the hexagonal wall.
  • apothem (float): The apothem (distance from the center to the midpoint of a side) of the hexagons.
  • wall_thickness (float): The thickness of the walls of the hexagons.
  • align (Union[Align, tuple[Align, Align, Align]], default=(Align.CENTER, Align.CENTER, Align.CENTER)): The alignment of the hexagonal wall. Can be a single Align value or a tuple of three Align values for x, y, and z alignment.
  • inverse (bool, default=False): If True, creates an inverse hexagonal pattern.

Returns

  • Part: The created hexagonal wall part.

Example

from fb_library.hexwall import HexWall
from build123d import Align

# Create a hexagonal wall with specified dimensions and properties
hex_wall = HexWall(
    length=100,
    width=100,
    height=10,
    apothem=5,
    wall_thickness=1,
    align=(Align.CENTER, Align.CENTER, Align.CENTER),
    inverse=False
)

# Create an inverse hexagonal wall
inverse_hex_wall = HexWall(
    length=100,
    width=100,
    height=10,
    apothem=5,
    wall_thickness=1,
    align=(Align.CENTER, Align.CENTER, Align.CENTER),
    inverse=True
)
