I want to create a hexagonal airlock. It would consist of 6 triangular parts. I would like to use some tool that would allow me to edit all those parts at once. I'd also want it to animate them accordingly to this sketch:
From what I've read the best solution appeared to be using an array modifier on the triangular element with an object offset using an empty element at 0,0,0 and rotated 60' on Z axis. Instead of the hexagon, I've created something like this.
I played a little with the coordinates of the empty point and received somewhat what I wanted, but it is definitely imperfect.
How can I create the hexagon, so that all the vertices are aligned and it would be easy to animate the mentioned way?
