How to create a fabric panel from an edited mesh

Grasshopper GH for Mac

Hey guys,

I have a polysurface that i have divided in to diamond panels. But there is some manipulation that cannot be done in grasshopper for which I have to use Rhino. (Only as an example I have done the triangles below. This might be different in final design). My idea is to have fabric panels in this grid. I am rebuilding this grid from all the lines so I am trying to figure out the best way to create these fabric panels (as in pic below which was made manually) along with the vertical supports that go from the intersection. Thanks in advance!

You’ll can move the mesh vertices in and out along their normals, then select from these points to make the new panels like this:
