surface area 3d

[aston82]

Hi.

I would like to create a prototype made of sheet metal of a furnishing accessory. more or less the process I would like to follow is what you find at this link for the construction of this cardboard pavilion with rhino.http://www.medaarch.com/2128-cocoon-a-temporary-pavilion/I basically created a 3d surface with irregular curves and I would like to understand how the process of "tassellation" is carried out with a polygon, its planarization and deduction of forms for printing. I need to face the curved solid so that it is reproducible then with flat sides of sheet joined together. as polygons go well of the triangles of different sizes, a little as it is done for geodetic domes. I think it should be done with mesh controls but I don't know how, if anyone could give me an idea of procedure, I'd be grateful.

Thank you, hello to all

You should read the article... they also explained it as they did.
Fathopper, or if it's too complicated panelingtools.

I'm sorry. I read quickly and let myself be deceived by the sw "autocad" that aston82 inserted in the sun of its sx profile of the message:-(

I read the article, maybe that explanation is not enough. If you know how to explain it instead of writing ovations. Thank you.

Anyway both in rhino I created my surface for revolution and I applied you a mesh. then with the commands _meshtonurb and _unrollsrf I managed to spy on it for table 2d. two doubts remain:
1- When I turn the mesh into nurb, it divides my faces into 4. How do I avoid it? Why do you do that?
2- Is there a command to apply to the surface a special polygonal mesh created separately?

I explained, the above panels are made with grasshopper, (in the link there is written precisely) that is complicated, or paneling tools, both free plugins, find dozens of tutorials, use mesh is wrong, and you have no control over the result.
