Concerning the six yao analysis method, please see the following links on the three classic Chinese textbooks
Six yao method analysis is based on the following Chinese Textbooks

The Chinese textbook易升：六爻实例浅释 引用自[星易图书网]:

gives numerous examples in the analysis of a hexagram using the six yao method.

For certain complex reading, I also used the conversion of the hexagrams to Xiao Shing Iching Layout.

Concerning the computation of Void elements (Hong Wang)
Computation of Kōng wáng (day void, month void, year void, hour void) in Iching Mathematics

天干Heavenly Stems (numbers)
Jia wood (1); Yi wood (2); Bing fire (3), Ding fire (4);
Mou earth (5); Ji earth (6); Geng fire (7); Xin metal (8);
Ren water (9); Gui water (10).

地支 Earthly Branches (numbers)
Zi water (1), Chou earth (2), Yin wood (3), Mao wood (4), Chen earth (5), Si fire (6),
Wu fire (7), Wei earth (8), Shen metal (9); You metal (10); Xu earth (11), Hai water (12).

Method of computation for day void
You must know the heavenly stem and earthly parameters of the day from the Chinese Astrology calendar.
Equation:

If earthly branch # > heavenly stem # , then earthly branch # - heavenly stem # + 1 = day void #
Example: 丙戌日Bing fire (3) Xu earth (11) day:

11 – 3 - 1 = 7, 7 is wu fire. Since day void is two parameters, 7 is wu fire, 7+1 = 8 is wei earth. Both Wu & Wei are day void for the Bing fire Xu earth day.

Example: 辛丑日 Xin metal (12), chou earth (2) day:

chou earth (2) < xin metal (8), then (2 + 12) – 8 – 1 = 5 (chen earth). Actual day void will be chen earth (5), si fire (6).

Example: 甲子日 Jia wood (1), zi water (1) day:

zi water (1) is not bigger then Jia wood (1), then (1+12) - 1 - 1 = 11 (xu earth). Actual day void will be xi earth (11), hai water (12).

Keep in mind when it comes to calculating void, Alex rules are somewhat different then what is accepted in any of the Five Arts(as void is used in QMDJ, Bazi and more or less everywhere else).

Its not a big problem, though, can still use their calc with other systems and texts, just need to manually adjust the Jia problem. Ren from the other forums fixed that I think in another version, no idea for the link for that,though.

I do not use the English site to set up the six yao diagram.

Here are two good Chinese sites
http://www.zhycw.com/pp/liuyao.aspx
The above site has better software, but this site is not always opened. The discussion forum was closed many years ago.

There is also a second site also in Chinese
https://www.china95.net/paipan/liuyao/index.asp

If the user has no idea of the ground rules how the assignment of yao (line) to relatives theory works, these two sites will simplify the layout of reading if the user enters the line results.

As a general rule, the user must learn the yang (+)_and ying (-) lines in each trigram, and the name of the eight trigrams, and its line layout.

For level one mastery, one must know the six lines in each hexagram and the two trigrams that form the hexagram..
