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-sal | Yukmo-sotgeul-sal | |
|---|---|---|
| Slat directions | Three directions (vertical slat plus two diagonals) meeting at one point | The same three directions, but the vertical slats are broken between crossings so hexagons open up |
| Cell shape | Equilateral triangle | Hexagon |
| Horizontal cell steps | Even numbers only | Odd numbers only |
| Grid math | The same equilateral triangle tessellation | The same equilateral triangle tessellation (only the omitted lines differ) |
Door Tab — Main Parameters
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Hinged · Sliding / panels | Hinged 1–2 panels, sliding 1–4, 6 or 8 panels |
| Frame width / height | Wall opening dimensions (width 100–10,000mm, height 400–5,000mm). The outer panel size is calculated with the frame thickness removed. |
| Horizontal cells | 1–29, adjustable in odd steps only (default 3). This and the slat width set the hexagon size. |
| Pattern vertical direction | On by default. On gives pointy-top hexagons, off gives flat-top ones. |
| Auto-fit frame height | When checked, the frame height is adjusted so the last row meets the bottom rail exactly |
| Left/right stile · top/bottom rail width | Outer frame width (mm) |
| Slat width | Width of each slat (mm) |
| Use transom panel | Adds a transom panel zone at the top when checked |
Specs Tab — Production Specification
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Frame / outer / inner width and height | Automatically calculated measured dimensions |
| Side spacing | Spacing between the hexagons' edges |
| Diagonal ink lines | Reference spacing for the diagonal slats |
| Vertical stile groove spacing | Spacing between the grooves cut into the vertical frame members |
| Half-lap width / Vertical stile groove width / Horizontal stile groove width | Calculated the same way as Semo-sotgeul-sal |
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
