Question about the Planar command in Grasshopper

Grasshopper
1

Hello, I’m working on the spherical voronoi sculpture idea again. One of the goals I am trying to achieve is for the voronoi cells to each be planar. I thought I found a great script to achieve this since it had a command that I thought made sure the cells were planar, but when I run the script and check, they are not. I attached an image of where the planar command is in the script, the curves I’m talking about, and the script itself.

I’m not sure if I set something incorrect or if it isn’t actually supposed to be planar. Can anyone tell me what the Planar command in this script is doing? If it’s not making those cells planar, is there a way to do it?

The planar component only checks if the object is planar.

In a voronoi cell, all faces are planar. The intersection with the sphere cannot be planar.

ahh, ok. I get it. I thought it might have been a stretch to think it was that simple.

Thank you for the explanation.
