Tessellation Step 6: Creating a Tessellation Pattern

Now we get to create our tessellation! Highlight everything from your decorated tessellation, and translate it over to the left. At this point, don't worry about matching up the points with your first tessellation object. Create another tessellation from your newly translated tessellation. Follow the same path from your first translating vector. This will ensure that both are at the same angle of translation. Now drag the vector arrow so that both the tessellations are forming a line and are lining up and connecting with the points from the previous tessellations. (This creates the bottom row.) Highlight the three tessellation objects you have just translated to form a row. Now translate those above or below your row you just created. Now you can create tessellations and fill in however many you'd like! Proceed to the next step...
