In geometry, a hexagon is a six-sided polygon or 6-gon. The total of the internal angles of any hexagon is 720°. A regular hexagon has Schläfli symbol 6 and can also be constructed as a truncated equilateral triangle, t3, which is a triangle with all sides equal and all angles 60°.

There are a number of ways to make a hexagon in Blender. One way is to use the Erase tool. With the Erase tool selected, hover your cursor over one of the vertices of the hexagon. Press and hold the LMB, then move your cursor along one of the edges of the hexagon. As you move your cursor, the edge of the hexagon will be erased. Continue moving your cursor until you've erased all six edges of the hexagon.

Another way to make a hexagon in Blender is to use the Knife tool. With the Knife tool selected, hover your cursor over one of the vertices of the hexagon. Press and hold the LMB, then move your cursor along one of the edges of the hexagon. As you move your cursor, the edge of the hexagon will be cut. Continue moving your cursor until you've cut all six edges of the hexagon.

Once you've made your hexagon, you can add color to it by selecting it and going to the Materials tab in the Properties editor. Click the New button to create a new material, and then select a color for the diffuse color.

In the "Object Offset" section, click the "Add Object" button. 5. In the "Add Object" menu, select the object you want to use as the polygon shape. 6. In the "Count" field, enter the number of times you want the polygon shape to be repeated. 7. In the "Relative Offset" section, enter the distance you want the polygon shape to be offset by. 8. In the "Array" modifier settings, select the "Fit Type" that best fits your needs. 9. Apply the modifier.

Q: How do you create a shape in blender?
