The 0.666 is clearly 2/3. The 0.857 is 1.5*2/3.5 = 3/3.5 ≈ 0.8571428571428571. With a radius of 1, x_orig=sqrt(3), y_orig=2, and y_mod=1.5*y_orig/(1.5*2/3.5)=(3.5/2)*y_orig. | |

If you wish to start with an custom radius L instead of 1 m, then all numbers with dimensions of length (radii, lengths, widths, offsets, but NOT ratios) get multiplied by L. In other words: x_orig=L*sqrt(3), y_orig=2*L, and y_mod=3.5/2*L. The factors mentioned change as follows: the x_original is 1.732 --> sqrt(3) * L, the new x_width is 2.598 --> 1.5*sqrt(3) * L, the relative x offset is 0.666 --> 2/3 * L, the second relative x offset is 0.666 --> 2/3 * L, and the final relative y offset is 0.857 --> (3/3.5) * L. Hope this helps!

Adjusted math after trying this

Note: On Blender 2.93 for the Solidify modifier, I had to choose the Complex instead of the Simple method to get there, otherwise I would have gotten uneven solidified edges. | |

| Nov 4, 2015 at 18:53 | comment | added | gandalf3 | @Aleph When zoomed in it looks to me distinctly hexagonal, with rather beveled bars. | |
| Nov 4, 2015 at 9:46 | comment | added | Aleph | I don't know, maybe you're right, in fact there's two grids on the ref image, and the one front the front ground is so thin that I can't clearly see its shape. | |

| Nov 4, 2015 at 1:42 | comment | added | gandalf3 | @Aleph I'm not quite sure what grid you're referring to.. When I think of "weaved" I think of something like this, but I don't see anything quite like that in the OP's image. | |
| Nov 4, 2015 at 1:11 | comment | added | Aleph | Nice technique ! (even if actually the initial question was about the grid from the front on the image, & not the "alveolus" one, which the edited title has overlapped :) - actually the "weaved" wasn't so bad to describe it) | |
