repeat tile issue

I've attached a video of an issue I am having with vector/path/shapes disappearing when I make a repeat tile. Its confusing I feel to explain so the video would help to clarify my process.

enter image description here

The above image is the repeat tile I was working on. There are three tables in total within the repeat tile - its a hexagon shape. There is one table aligned to the top centre of the tile. To save this tile I 'created new pattern' and named it. enter image description here

This is what the tile looks like as a pattern. I have used the appearance panel to give it a pink fill background. Note the table that was top centre of the tile now has the fries and cup shape/vector missing. It was visible when I saved the tile but for some reason it disappears once the pattern is made. I am perplexed.

  • But the idea of using repeating hexagons to make a fill which contains definitely something different than hexagons is a good one. Hopefully it gets fixed.

Just a guess, which is all I can do without the EPS file to see for sure, but it looks like it's dropping off what is outside your shape. I would guess that the burger is grouped, so the fact that even the little sliver of the burger is inside the shape is causing the whole to be included. I would group the entire table and it's contents into one group, that should fix the problem.
