I need a combination of two shapes; i) a hexagonal shape and ii) a country outline. The final product shall look like the image attached.

I have managed to cut and clip the two forms so far that I have the final output. Nevertheless, in order to work with the result, I need to colour the hexagons differently. And there lies the problem; when wanting to select individual hexagons, the layer from which I clipped the shape still occurs and spreads across the border of what I have cut.

Hence, I need a guideline on how to 'combine' these to shapes (sort of intersecting the paths, which does not work).

I found the solution:


create the structure you wish to have inside the reference polygon (in this case, the country shape);
combine them all, using path → union;
intersect the structure and the reference polygon;
break apart the new, structured polygon.
