Following a suggestion in another thread, I thought to work out and calculate some hatches which simulated perforated plates with a certain percentage open.

I calculated on a unit sided hexagon for the pattern repeat, and the holes are 12 sided polygons (dodecagon) to suit, and made a spreadsheet, so that any percentage open can be easily calculated. The process is not automatic so I will not be posting the spreadsheet, but am posting three pattern files.

Nice idea can use ssget with "F" option to erase the exploded semi-circles on the edges. Which I think was one of the requests.

Having set up the equations, one can explore further.

Even more scalings.

 

I have attached the 50% open hatch pattern file, as it might be useful for some.
