I’m working on a project and need to project a honeycomb pattern onto a surface to create holes. I’d like a 2mm edge offset, providing a margin to the pattern from the sides. However, I’m having difficulty projecting both the pattern onto the surface and the edge onto the sketch layer. One solution I considered involved projecting the edge onto a new sketch layer and creating the honeycomb pattern from scratch. However, this isn’t optimal because I intend to use parametric adjustments for the pattern later on. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Hey! I’d like to take a closer look at this – as I’m working around projection –, so if you could open a support ticket and upload your workspace there, probably it’d help a lot.

This is where you can do that: [https://support.shapr3d.com/hc/en-us/requests/new](https://support.shapr3d.com/hc/en-us/requests/new)

Thank you
