They are all individual tiles. I wrote a macro that would take the
intersection of a given shape, the +y plane, and four other planes which
form the visible area and then fill that intersection with one of two hex
tile patterns. The macro would then write out an include file including all
of the tiles and their bounding boxes (had to turn error messages off.)

Lost the macro a long time ago with a hard-drive crash, but I still have
this pic b/c I e.mailed it to myself at work.
