Hex pattern on complex surface ideas

Trying to get something close to this in onshape except without the mismatched transitions. This was done in bumpmesh. I can't ultimately use bumpmesh because I need it in a STEP file in the end. I've messed a bit with the texture fs and the attractor, but haven't had much luck with those. I think I need more seat time to understand those better. I've even tried using the displacement map which would maybe work if it weren't for the two extremely different length edges at the flange that stretch the pattern too far. Look for suggestions on other methods before I just model a web of 3d splines to serve as the pattern.

    Following! I don't have a good solution but have run into similar issues with patterns like this.

    @MDesign I wonder if this is worth throwing this task at Claude and the MCP server?

    Would be interesting if the AI comes up with a custom feature and solution for you?
