Ce point réversible a beaucoup d'analogie avec le point natté monténégrin. Comme ce dernier, il présente sur l'envers des points de croix séparés par des points verticaux, mais par contre, les points verticaux disparaissent presque entièrement sur l'endroit. Le point natté grec demande un fil bien tordu, ce qui fait bien ressortir en relief la natte formée par le point. Le plus souvent, il est employé comme point de consolidation, pour arrêter un bord qui sera effrangé ultérieurement ou simplement coupé. 1, record 5, French, - point%20natt%C3%A9%20grec

The main truss segments-S0, P1, S1, P3, and S3-were designed as rigid hexagonal sections; a six-point structure is more rigid than one with four points. The hexagonal cross section also maximizes the volume that can be used to load equipment onto the truss. A square will not use the available volume as well as a hexagon.... The truss segments are not regular hexagons; the sides are not equal in length. The segments are wider than they are tall to further exploit the Shuttle payload bay area... The hexagonal truss segments also contain a robotic manipulator arm that travels along two longerons on one plane of the hexagonal truss. The 55 ft(17 m) long robotic arm being built by the Canadian Space Agency will be launched with the S0 segment and will travel the length of the truss. 6, record 9, English, - P3%20truss
