I’m wanting to reflect my planting plan from our documentation, which is always at a triangular spacing. Is there a possible workaround to achieve this? Grid is the only distribution mode that sort of gets close.
Thanks,
Kevin

Are you referring to this kind of pattern?
If so, here are possible ideas to explore to produce something similar:
-
Grid with a rotation
- Create a grid on a surface
- Apply a 45° rotation
- Use any mask to trim the instances that overflow, to obtain a clean square
-
Two interlaced grids
- Create two grid compositions on the same surface, with the same spacing
- Use the offset parameter to move one of the grid diagonally from the other
Maybe other users on those forums have an idea?

For a small area ( or maybe even for a larger one) you could just:
- create a pattern with very simple components as placeholders
- select that group of objects into a skatter composition with right click
- give them randomness in scaling and rotation
In the end it´s just overlapped lines. you could also even do it with the curve skatter tool just offsetting two types of components that overlap.
