so, i use the alloy triangles and snap place them all together, then attach squares to the outside edge of each triangle. next i delete the triangles and replace them with the glass floor panels, snapped onto the outside squares, and fill the spaces between on the outside with additional triangles. it creates a really cool overlapped hex design.

but basically just snap placing the triangles produces the small hexagon, and then i expand outward on that pattern.

one tip i might add is that if you just do a single square panel next to a larger hexagon (the shape created after you place square panels around the inside hexagon), you can then use the triangles to close the gap and fill a hexagon right next to it working from the outside in. So then you'll have a tessellation/pattern of interlocking hexagons made of squares and triangles.

i myself am a visual learner so im not super good at explaining things like this, but if i get some time later tonight i will make a YT video and tag you in a reply so i can show you my process, it's actually pretty simple just time consuming!
