How to make perfect pattern using the transform FX

[Stefan Cargoski]

Hi community.

I have made a shape, and then use the transform FX to rotate it, but my pattern has overlapping shapes.

is this the correct method to make pattern shapes?

A Pattern Brush would appear to be more efficient.

Hello, thanks for your reply.

I did a pattern brush, but its a bit gappy, but the shape is not distorted. is there a method not to make it have gaps?

Stefan, shown here is one tile to make the Hex pattern brush. No gaps.

Hope that helps

Draw an invisible rectangle in the background that marks the repeat. There's no need to actually slice the shapes.
