Khabazi's Porous Structures tutorial

I'm scratching my head over this problem. I've worked my way to "Phase two_Triangulation" in Khabazi's Porous structures tutorial

http://www.grasshopper3d.com/page/tutorials-1

I'm having trouble with designating my edge curves on the Phase two_Triangulation definition (pg. 25-28) so that the zig-zag weave is consistent across the surface. There is a note in the definition that says to "change the order of edge curves if they do not match the contours in their start point" which they don't at the moment, but i've tried numerous selection orders and still do not get the proper triangulation between edge curves and contours. I'd appreciate suggestions. I've attached a sample image of my model.

Thanks

RWNB,

I was able to follow your issues and the solution Danny gave you, but my problem is happening before the circles are created. My problem is happening during triangulation:

The desired effect in the tutorial should be this:

Thanks for the insight RWNB. Your definition worked very well, but I'm wondering why I my triangulation wasn't working properly for the surface I created? Was it a matter of selecting the edge curves in the proper order? Either way, I appreciate the input.

Thanks
