Warp/Weft lines break — need continuous and aligned rectangular panels

[mariana7 (mariana)]

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a definition where I extract the warp/weft curves from a mesh using the Weaverbird Warp/Weft component.

Problem 1: The lines coming out of the Warp/Weft component are broken — they don’t remain continuous across the whole surface. I need them to be continuous curves following the mesh direction (either U or V).

Problem 2: I need to generate rectangular panels, that are parallel to the mesh surface, stacked one direction on top of the other (like overlapping strips).

What’s the best way to:

1. Keep the warp/weft lines continuous, and

2. Generate clean rectangular panels aligned to those directions?

I’m currently using Warp/Weft + Cull Pattern + Line to extract the grid. Any advice or example would be great.

Thanks in advance!

For a base shape like this, you might give it a try with PanelingTools, and for your reference.
