Awesome! Thanks!

Actually, you were correct to begin with!!!! :) I looked at it again and
realized the method I described only reproduces the "isometric" pattern of
intersecting lines (which is sufficient for my needs). To reproduce the actual
*hexagon* in its entirety you need to take things a step further:

Thanks for the tip! I was hoping for an algorithmic approach, but I guess
there's no real need to go to all that effort.

Thanks again!
