As in making the rotation axis of the surface subdivision around the adjacent surface's edge?

or the center of the surface, and the axis would then be the normal vector of that center point.

Is this what you had in mind? With multiple sub surfaces this will get much more complicated though.

ooh, because you'd need to turn every subsurface on it's own? that'll be way too complicated, true... no, what i thought about would more be like a grid which is overlayed and the surface would then be subdivided according to the grids angle, which would produce weird edge pieces, but that wouldn't be the problem then...

No you wouldn't necessarily have to rotate every sub surface on its own but it really depends on many factors, turning them all at the same rotation angle would be easy or even at different angles wouldn't be too hard depending on the angle pattern, or what you want to achieve.

Im sorry I do not quite understand what you mean further?
