Drawing Hexaflake

The term “hexa” generally refers to the number six, derived from the Greek word. It is commonly used in mathematics, geometry, and other scientific fields to indicate six-sided shapes or structures. A hexagon is a polygon with six sides and six angles. It is one of the regular polygons, meaning all of its sides and angles are equal. A hexahedron is a polyhedron with six faces. The most well-known example is the cube, which has six square faces, twelve edges, and eight vertices. Drawing hexaflake is a basic drawing exercise in Rhinoceros[1]. Here, you will learn some of the fundamental commands in Rhinoceros and CAD in general.

This video series showcases various in-class exercises I conducted in a freshman-year Architectural Geometry course. Using Rhinoceros software, we explore Euclidean constructions, basic drawing and transformation commands, fundamental fractals, regular and semi-regular tessellations, patterns, and modeling techniques, including unrolling polyhedra. These short drawing exercises are also beneficial for junior-level architects, interior designers, industrial designers, and enthusiasts from other disciplines. So, I will be publishing exercises each week on my blog and other platforms. Here is the basic exercise: Drawing Hexaflake.

The software used in this course is Rhinoceros 3d (www.rhino3d.com[2]).
