From Generating a Surface to Fabricating !

Hello dear readers and experts. 

i'm just stuck with tons of problem and that for sure id because of the lack of knowledge but i'm trying to catch up . 

so basically i'm trying to generate a surface (pavilion) and from that i want to fabricate it using some paper or card bored . 

1. for modeling the pavilion i used a simple kangaroo based algorithm to generate the desired form using mesh 3d plane faces . there was no problem with this part and i was able to get the mesh from geometry out put . then i wanted to use that output mesh to panelize it and then adding tabs and the nesting and cutting to get the parts. but the problem was every tutorial i looked up were using surfaces to panelize and nest so this was the first problem to convert the mesh into a surface and then panelazing and nesting . i tried using the mesh2nurbs but it didn't work out for me . (because i needed a single surface not some poly surfaces) . (attachment | input mesh ) 
2. so i started from the beginning and tried using a surface as an input for kangaroo and thus getting a surface as an output so i did that and tried to create a surface by the Surface from points component . and the result was not good the surface was kinda messed up and the the reason was the points were not ordered well i guess . so this was another problem for me . (attachment | input surface)(picture below)

so basically i have a few main questions : 

1. is there a tutorial or any topic or book or somthing that explains from 0 to 100 from design to fabrication (as an example a pavilion) ? 

2. can i use the mesh to panelize and nest and then fabricate ? and are there any tips or tricks to it ? 

3. is the starting from surface for me a good idea or not ?

i am extremely sorry for talking this much and i'm grateful for the time you spent on reading this . 

best wishes ; Babak.
