COMMENTS
The snub-632 tiling in also called the fsz-d net. It is the dual of the 3.3.3.3.6 Archimedean tiling.
This is also called the "6-fold pentille" tiling in Conway, Burgiel, Goodman-Strauss, 2008, p. 288. - Felix Fröhlich, Jan 13 2018

FORMULA
For n >= 1, let k=floor(n/3). Then a(3*k) = 12*k, a(3*k+1)=18*k+6, a(3*k+2)=24*k+12.
a(n) = 2*a(n-3) - a(n-6) for n >= 7.
G.f.: -(-x^6-12*x^5-12*x^4-10*x^3-12*x^2-6*x-1)/(x^6-2*x^3+1).
