simplified origami: hexagonal crease pattern

hello,

i am trying to adapt daniel's "simplified origami" example to this hexagonal crease pattern: http://www.origamitessellations.com/docs/3636_Waterbomb-Eric_Gjerde...

"simplified origami" example: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rfw261gvomtlw92/Origami_simplified.gh

i drew the crease pattern here:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ukts1sfc9xnra2j/hexagonal_waterbomb_handd...

but so far, i was unable to create the mesh that goes with it, i.e. a mesh whose edges correspond to the folds.

for one i have trouble getting around rhino's triangle/quad mesh restriction but i am unsure also about how to combine all these meshes into one single mesh for the "origami" cluster in the "simplified origami" example.

following david's advice, i am looking into planarizing multiple meshfaces (see screenshot) but haven't gotten very far yet.

any pointers to docs, tutorials and the like would be highly appreciated!

many thanks for your help,

robin

hello, i figured out how to construct my meshes for rectangular and triangular crease patterns. how can i work around this restriction for hexagonal and other - more complex - patterns? if i understood correctly i should use the "planarize" force in kangaroo to force multiple meshfaces to stay flat, but i am unsure how and where to insert it in the origami cluster... any help appreciated. thanks, r
