Simon,

That is an interesting question. I was going to say the answer is "no" but clearly your surfaces are developable (hyperbolic parabaloids).

I think there would be a way to do it, but it might be painful. I'll check into it a bit later.

Well done. Looks good.

Just be aware that I have noticed that there would be some occasions when one of the diagonals would not be the longest curves. E.g. when there is a very steep sided surface you would therefore get triangular panels.

Yeah, thats right.
how to avoid that? Any suggestions?

Haha, Ya I was just as shocked about that the other day when Vicente showed me, what was to me a really complex sorting definition.
