Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

I have been developing a kirigami honeycomb script in which I am able to select a surface  profile (linear, polynomial, wave etc.) and the honeycomb core will be produced to match the surface profile. My problem arises in unfolding the core such that the part can be cut using a water jet cutter or such and than folded until its final form.

I have managed to unfolded it one direction but problems have arisen in the other direction, as the surface of the hexcore pattern has produced other points other than the intersection points between the cores (shown in attached images). I was wondering if anybody knew any way in grasshopper to smooth out these curves and remove the points other than the intersection points.

I have attached a few files showing the Rhino output from my grasshopper script:

1) The complete structure

2) The current folded out form

3) The problem with the additional points

It kind of depends on the data structure how easy it will be. That's why we need at least the lines in a .gh file. just use internalise data, so you dont need to post your whole definition if you dont want to.

Then you can either try simplify curve or just take the 2 outermost points and just construct a new line. If you upload the file, we can give it a go.
