Folded/Pleated Surface to curve

Grasshopper Kangaroo

Hello,

I am very new to grasshopper and have created a simple folded/pleated surface.

I want to make it more complex and have this surface follow along a curve and have different points of the surface and the pleats to be at different heights. I was looking around for tutorials and scripts online and haven’t found one that would help me. However, I did find this folded model by Michele Calvano, and something like this is essentially what I am trying to achieve.

If anyone could help me, or direct me towards the right direction - that would be great!

Thank You :slight_smile:
