Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

This is a data tree question. How do I take a tree structure and change it according to a reference structure? I'm trying to make a flat pattern for making a physical model. see the attached image and grasshopper file for reference of what I want to do with the data tree.

Secondarily, as a bonus, if you know an absolutely better way to do what I'm trying to do then feel free to recommend it. I made an attractor point-powered extrudy thing that I intend to make from paper. I am trying to find a way to bake the flat pattern into separate groups that I can nest together for printing. any advice on the following would help me:

1. baking into groups (i'm using the lunchbox bake component, but having trouble getting the tree order to send everything to the right layer)

2. Smashing/unrolling Breps into flat patterns for prototyping.

3. Nesting flattened components in a parametric way.
