Surface Panelization

Good evening everybody,

I am a design student in Paris.

I discovered Grasshopper not long time ago but I really want to do a shape that I can cut with our laser-cutting.

For that, I followed the following tutorial:
http://digitaltoolbox.info/grasshopper-intermediate/offset-scale/

I think the beginning is correct because I have the same things. However, at the last step I can't correctly generate the tabs for assemble this shape. I try to put "flatten" everywhere but it doesn't work ...

If someone just give me a little help please ? Or check if everything is okay? Or if there is an another tutorial ? Or if the question has already been asked in this forum ? I take!

I'm really sorry if my problem is not very interesting but I'm new ...

Yours,

Anna,

I wouldn't to disturb you. Maybe you can put panels/ notes on the definition to explain the error and send me back the definition ?

so see attached the modified now working gh def...

i added a panel, in which i try to explain your mistake...which is not easy for me, though my english is alright, but not good enough to explain complex stuff...

your mistake was about handling the data lists and trees...this is not that easy to understand at first, took me a while to get it...but the forum is super supporting, so if you want to know more about that, ask here...

regards from paris ;)
