RhinoScript.org – bringing open source to architecture & design

computes an origami like paperfolding and draws the developed lay out on the xy-plane so that you can print it and fold it yourself

input:
two polylines, which must be situated respectively in the xy- and the yz-plane

output:
- a set of mesh faces, representing the fold work
- a set of lines on the xy-plane, lay out of the developed surface

notes:
a geometrical restiction of the method is that the amplitude of the second polyline can not be too big. otherwise it will produce 'unfoldable' intersetions

  hey ivo,
  
  nice idea to use videos to show how your scripts are working. I linked the gallery items to your scripts (see "used scripts" above) - if you left that out intentionally, just drop me a note!
