Rather than delete the center line used to locate the hexagon, I recommend changing its 'line type' to construction. It allows faces to remain selectable as expected while also maintaining reference geometry.
Great approach that makes use of rectangular pattern + directions in sketches. This is the best way to make honeycombs I've seen - much better than the other videos, plus short and to the point without having unnecessary filler time.
Nice use of patterns. I would probably extrude the interior webbing first. Then do a second sketch and hit P to Project the two circles onto the new sketch and then finish and extrude the outer circle. No individual deleting.
i have been using fusion360 for 6 months now and i did not know you could select a direction with the rectangular pattern tool, and that you can pull it 2 ways. Thank you in advance for saving my time in the future!
Excellent, I could follow your clear and concise instructions, and apply the honeycomb pattern to my electronics enclosure. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Have a nice day, sir.
Thank you for your tutorial, short and concise! I preferred as suggested by another user to not delete the centerl line of the hexagon instead i turned it into a construction line. In addition I created 2 functions (hexagon thickness and distance between hexagons) in order to make the pattern parametric, now it's a pleasure to make hexagonal patterns and edit them in a few clicks.
My trim function doesn't detect the intersection between the honeycomb and the boundary lines, and the extrude tool can only select the entire inner area, what am I doing wrong?
You're comment is incorrect. Using the free version of Fusion360, In the sketch workspace, if you click the create dropdown, you will see the polygon option, and if you click the arrow beside it, you will see the polygon options. Here's a screenshot showing that the polygons are there as of 4/21/2024 using Fusion version 2.0.18961. imgur.com/a/C3OVpYj
Instead of suppressing the unwanted ones, just create the pattern and OK it. Go back with the selection tool, select multiple at once, and delete them.
This is bad workflow. Pattern is made primarily in the volume modeling environment (Solid tab), not in sketch. In addition, it is faster and more convenient.

This is such a perfectly made video to understand how to do this. Thank you for creating it for "all of us"!
OMG your a genius. All the other tutorials on honeycomb are ridiculous. Your method skips like 10 steps ahead. Thank you!!
Happy to help!

Holy. This has been helpful beyond for belief. I've been using fusion for years and have been doing it the hard way since.

perfect. Right to the point without being boring or confusing. Keep up the good work.
Thank you!

Best method I have seen yet. Thank you for this tutorial 🙏
Thank you for a clear tutorial. I hope you do more like that.
easier and faster if you extrude the middle polygon then use the pattern on the extrude feature

You're welcome!
Thanks for a very helpful video. It makes creating a honeycomb pattern easy to follow for this or other applications.
I've seen few videos how to do it and this one is the best.
Keep making videos like this!
Great job. I found this very helpful.
Nicely done
best tutorial. thanks
This is the best method I've seen thus far. The other methods are a lot more involved.
I learn so much in 8 min. Thank you, Mr :D
Very helpful and in particular you solved my spacing issue, your method is the quickest and easiest, THANK YOU
Awesome video mate, thank you for the great tutorial!
Fantastic tutorial!
Wow, thanks so much. I was doing this in a much jankier way! Much appreciated! -JC
How do I make an exact measurement of 0.44 between them?
How do i extrude the outer wall to a different height than the middle honeycomb pattern?
Thanks ! Today I've learned something new ! Great tutorial!
Thank you!
thx for the good tutorial
you saved my pc from flying out of the window.
Thank you for this perfect straightforward tutorial.
Thanks a ton !!
Thank you! This was very helpful and very easy to follow.
I appreciate your efforts. thank you!
Great video! I've been wanting to get into 3D printing and designing lure molds. I will be watching a lot more of your tutorials.
My trim function doesn't detect the intersection between the honeycomb and the boundary lines, and the extrude tool can only select the entire inner area, what am I doing wrong?
thanks for the tutorial, it was very helpful
Thank you so much ,It was really useful
Glad to hear that
Thanks, I am making thumbsticks for my FPV drone controller, and I needed some grip for the thumbsticks.
finally i learned it. thank you
You can select honeycombs and delete them from sketch after finishing the pattern :)
Super helpful. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you!
Very helpful
The free edition does not have the polygon options?

Good video, strait to the point, thank you it helped me allot.
Glad the video was able to help you! Thank you for watching!

Super 👍
I would've used geometric pattern
thanks, much2 easier method
TOPPPPP
👍👍👍💚
This is bad workflow.
Pattern is made primarily in the volume modeling environment (Solid tab), not in sketch.
In addition, it is faster and more convenient.
There are many ways to accomplish the same task. This is one and works well for those of us who design our models in the sketch space first.
inches 💀💀💀
Designin not in metric?
Are you kidding?
I'm American, and 93% of my audience is American. I will include metric measurements in the next video.
a very delayed start.
"6 sides polygon" for American people. For the rest of the world it's an exagon.
bad method manual
Thanks, but why do you have background noise when you are filming? most annoying.
thank you, this is really useful!
