Now you will see the Pattern Options Panel and a preview of your custom pattern on the Artboard. With the Selection Tool (V), select both hexagons and go to Object > Pattern > Make Once you created the extra lines to divide the hexagon, group them (CMD/CTRL + G) and then create a copy and place it top right to the first hexagon.

Turn on your Smart Guides under Window > Smart Guides and make sure no snap it selected. With the Pen Tool (P), create a vertical line and two diagonal lines.

In Adobe Illustrator, use the Polygon Tool (underneath the Rectangle Tool) and click once on your Artboard.
