Hi, 
I am trying to make a vector pattern made of equilateral triangles with different levels of opacity. 
I would like for the triangles to line up perfectly with each other. I tried with different snapping and grid settings however, there are still some gaps and misaligned triangles here and there (the whole process of manually adjusting every single triangle is also pretty time-consuming). 

Is there a more precise and efficient way to do this kind of work? 

Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

Hi, 

 

please activate only the absolute minimum snapping options, and deactivate everything else, especially pixel alignment. In you Case only snap to grid.

Then, use power-duplicate to create larger blocks e.g. 6 triangles to build polygon. Use those to cover larger areas.

delete superfluous triangles.

As final step, assign colors.

But your file seems pretty good aligned. You may see white lines when using pixel mode. This are caused by anti-aliasing.
