  • Summary

    Hexagonal boxes are much more attractive then square boxes. They are much more attractive for any decoration. But on the first glance it looks like they are much more difficult to design. In this how-to I want to show you, how even hexagonal boxes can be made pretty easy with XCS. I will give you the formulas to calculate the required sizes and provide an example design. If you are interested in the “why” behind this, I’ll try to explain this at the end of the how-to.
