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.
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!
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.
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.
How would you do something like this but with a circle instead of a hexagon? Thought it would be the same process, but I can't select the circle when doing the pattern.
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.

By far the easiest honeycomb creation technique, way fewer steps and much easier to follow. Thanks!

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

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!
Great vid - 100% what I needed in under 5 minutes! Thanks.

I've seen few videos how to do it and this one is the best.
this was so helpful im new to fusion 360 and just got the hang of sketching and this helped me a lot!
Best method I have seen yet. Thank you for this tutorial 🙏
Thank you for a clear tutorial. I hope you do more like that.
This is the best method I've seen thus far. The other methods are a lot more involved.
Thanks for a very helpful video. It makes creating a honeycomb pattern easy to follow for this or other applications.
I learn so much in 8 min. Thank you, Mr :D

You're welcome!
easier and faster if you extrude the middle polygon then use the pattern on the extrude feature
Very helpful and in particular you solved my spacing issue, your method is the quickest and easiest, THANK YOU
Great job. I found this very helpful.
Thanks ! Today I've learned something new ! Great tutorial!
Thank you!
Keep making videos like this!
Wow, thanks so much. I was doing this in a much jankier way! Much appreciated! -JC
Awesome video mate, thank you for the great tutorial!
best tutorial. thanks
How would you do something like this but with a circle instead of a hexagon? Thought it would be the same process, but I can't select the circle when doing the pattern.
How do I make an exact measurement of 0.44 between them?
Thank you for this perfect straightforward tutorial.
Fantastic tutorial!
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.
Thank you so much ,It was really useful
Glad to hear that
I appreciate your efforts. thank you!
Nicely done
Thank you! This was very helpful and very easy to follow.
How do i extrude the outer wall to a different height than the middle honeycomb pattern?
thanks!
It's easy, when you describe :)
Thanks a ton !!
thx for the good tutorial
thanks for the tutorial, it was very helpful
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 saved my pc from flying out of the window.
Super helpful. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks, I am making thumbsticks for my FPV drone controller, and I needed some grip for the thumbsticks.
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 👍
You can select honeycombs and delete them from sketch after finishing the pattern :)
Thank you!
finally i learned it. thank you
Very helpful

I would've used geometric pattern
thanks, much2 easier method
TOPPPPP
👍👍👍💚
This is bad workflow.

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 💀💀💀
"6 sides polygon" for American people. For the rest of the world it's an exagon.
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.
Thanks, but why do you have background noise when you are filming? most annoying.
bad method manual
thank you, this is really useful!
