Here is a better version. Thanks to @shmuel_Israel_ who shared his setup in Discord.

I would use Geometry Nodes for stuff like this:

Far from suitable for anything. This is a terrible mess. And it's clearly not modelled, but am generated image, as it's a kind of mess that would be impossible to create with real polygons. Why are you lying? ping @IsThisA3DModel

The computational cost for nGons was much higher than I expected. Timing for all quads version in this example is 75ms and The 582ms. Worth of noting is that performance is hit only when Limit Surface is enabled. If disabled, the speed is same.

..indicator for the Snap Base, so it would be more clear what is the point that is snapping. Are you aware of the Set Snap Base when using Move tool ( B key)? I like a lot, and use it for snapping mostly:

Use Snap Base Active. It should fix the issue. With closest, center or median the Snap Base can be off the grid. For example when you have 2 Objects have uneven amount of grid "slots" in-between, their mid point will be in a half grid point. Maybe Blender should have visual..

"Developed as a digital exploration" Is this some sophisticated acronym for AI slob ?

Enough crowd?

My take on this challenge. The dimensions are a bit of as I just eye-balled the shape, didn't add reference images.

Here's and example scene. I haven't done any stress testing etc. so it may brake in various situations. One thing I know for sure is that it will not handle "cyclic" bevels well. patreon.com/khellstr/posts/v… btw. Are you the same Christopher3D who makes the really good tutorials ?

Couldn't stop. Kink in Coil

So, when you hide your empties, these empties are not hidden. Or, when you hide Mesh Object, these empties are hidden. I think Empties should always follow visibility settings of Empties. When I hide empties ALL empties should be hidden. Do you agree?

I don't know if it has same, but it seems that adding 6 points to circle to each round gives that pattern :

For a single planar face there are few ways to do this. One below. Other would be to create Mesh Circles and sample positions from the original face. And Mesh Boolean as "brute force" solution. Splitting multiple faces in different orientations will get complicated.

Only correct answer is 0, zero. There are no cubes on trailer.

Faster to delete edge loops than merge vertices one by one. ...If I'm not missing something.
