# Panels Node in Tool

Get to know about Repeating pattern and its integration in Panel Nodes

**Panels nodes** generate repeating patterns and tessellations, including quad, triangle, diamond, and hexagonal layouts.

**Quad Panel:** Generates a paneling pattern made of **four-sided (quadrilateral) panels**. Useful for façade systems, grids, and evenly divided surfaces.

**Triangle Panel A:** Creates a triangular panel layout using one type of triangle subdivision. Ideal for lightweight structures, tessellations, or geometric patterns.

**Triangle Panel C:** Produces a triangular panel pattern with an alternative subdivision method (different orientation/connection logic from Triangle Panel A). Useful when you need variation in triangle layout or panel direction.

**Diamond Panel:** Creates a pattern of **four-sided diamond-shaped panels**. Common in architectural skins, shading systems, and decorative geometric surfaces.

**Hexagonal Panel:** Generates a **six-sided hexagon panel pattern**, forming a honeycomb-like structure. Perfect for organic designs, structural grids, and smooth tessellations.

### **U-Iso and V-Iso in Surface Panels**

Think of any surface like a sheet of cloth being divided into a grid.  
This grid is made by two directions:

-   **U direction** (horizontal flow of the surface)
    
-   **V direction** (vertical flow of the surface)
    

When you add panels (quad, hex, triangle), the system uses these two directions to slice the surface.

### **What U-Iso Does**

**U-Iso = number of cuts made along the U direction.**  
More U-Iso = more slices horizontally = smaller panel widths.

### **What V-Iso Does**

**V-Iso = number of cuts along the V direction.**  
More V-Iso = more vertical slices = smaller panel heights.
