Do you mean like equilateral triangles over an area - if so the only way I know of doing that would be to use
1) Draw a triangle as you want it in lower left corner of the area you want to cover
2) Use the Matrix Copy TML command to copy it all over the area (Part of RPS Data Prep Toolbox if you need it)
3) Use the Select by Boundary command to find all the triangles outside a boundary line around the outside of the surface and delete them
4) use the change elevation command to elevate all the remaining triangles to the surface elevation
5) If you want to clip the edge triangles then use the clip command to delete all the parts of the triangles outside the boundary and remove them.
It depends a bit on how large your surface is as to how long Matrix Copy will take to create all the triangles but it should be able to do it I would think - when you are asked for the From location pick the lower left corner of the triangle, when asked for the To location pick the Apex of the triangle - as that will skew all the rows and columns at the angle of the triangle side. When asked for the number of columns and rows you can enter the width of the surface / 1.2 if 1.2 is your triangle side length and use 1.03923 for the Row Spacing and the Height / 1.03923 for the number of rows
You could also do it maybe with the Drill Plan Module to create a drill pattern over the area and then Create Design Points which would convert the drill holes to points and use a Grid with a Stagger pattern (if you have the Drilling and Piling Module.
I used the first approach using Matrix Copy to create this example - I did it at 5m centers to save time but it works
Works pretty well I think - a few steps but gets the job done
If you need Points you can use Create from CAD to achieve that or you can make a surface and then explode it out to Points and Lines using Explode Surface command
The video that was posted separately shows how I did this
