Yukmo-sotgeul-sal

This engine recreates Yukmo-sotgeul-sal, which uses the same three-directional slats as Semo-sotgeul-sal but offsets the crossing points instead of gathering them at a single point, opening up hexagons. It is also called Eogeum-yukmo. Sotgeul means "rising," named for the way the slats overlap and rise at each crossing point, which gives the lattice its layered quality. The honeycomb hexagons the slats form are closer to a circle than a square, so — even with the same joinery — the result feels round and generous rather than taut like the triangular pattern.

How It Differs from Semo-sotgeul-sal

Semo-sotgeul-salYukmo-sotgeul-sal
Slat directionsThree directions (vertical slat plus two diagonals) meeting at one pointThe same three directions, but the vertical slats are broken between crossings so hexagons open up
Cell shapeEquilateral triangleHexagon
Horizontal cell stepsEven numbers onlyOdd numbers only
Grid mathThe same equilateral triangle tessellationThe same equilateral triangle tessellation (only the omitted lines differ)

Door Tab — Main Parameters

ItemDescription
Hinged · Sliding / panelsHinged 1–2 panels, sliding 1–4, 6 or 8 panels
Frame width / heightWall opening dimensions (width 100–10,000mm, height 400–5,000mm). The outer panel size is calculated with the frame thickness removed.
Horizontal cells1–29, adjustable in odd steps only (default 3). This and the slat width set the hexagon size.
Pattern vertical directionOn by default. On gives pointy-top hexagons, off gives flat-top ones.
Auto-fit frame heightWhen checked, the frame height is adjusted so the last row meets the bottom rail exactly
Left/right stile · top/bottom rail widthOuter frame width (mm)
Slat widthWidth of each slat (mm)
Use transom panelAdds a transom panel zone at the top when checked

Specs Tab — Production Specification

ItemDescription
Frame / outer / inner width and heightAutomatically calculated measured dimensions
Side spacingSpacing between the hexagons' edges
Diagonal ink linesReference spacing for the diagonal slats
Vertical stile groove spacingSpacing between the grooves cut into the vertical frame members
Half-lap width / Vertical stile groove width / Horizontal stile groove widthCalculated the same way as Semo-sotgeul-sal
The other five engines show a "total door width" card in the production specification, but Yukmo-sotgeul-sal does not. If you need the overall width, use the outer width value.

Member List

The same structure as Semo-sotgeul-sal — frame members → directional members (names vary with the Pattern vertical direction) → diagonal slats (two directions) → transom panel (if used) → door frame. The surface area, weight & volume table further down works the same way as Se-sal — see the Se-sal guide for details.

Finish Tab

Choosing the wood, hardware and colors per part to colour (frame, stile & rail, slat, face) works the same as Se-sal. Pick Face as the part and you can click cells in the drawing to fill just those cells (Paint face color).

Example Uses

  • Traditional hanok hexagonal lattice changho
  • Lattice patterns for temple halls
  • Partitions for upscale Korean restaurants
