Thanks for the tutorial, Rodrigo!I have one question:When I implement the definition +model you posted, the flattened panels do not follow the boundary curves, even though everything seems to follow what you showed in your video. Here's a screenshot:The smooth curve is the boundary, the "jagged" edges are the panels. Any thoughts on how to fix this? I'm trying to implement this definition for a project, and the edge conditions are very important to maintain.

Hi Dennis, I would suggest you to play with your force values, If that is one of the things that should drive your design I would try to give a higher value to that component.

Thanks for the very quick reply!I tried your suggestion: things fall apart at CurvePull values over 10,000; and even in that case, the result is not noticeably different. Any further thoughts?

Have you tried decreasing the rest of the forces and not putting that one so high. Have you tried the new version of Kangaroo is supposed to be way more stable to avoid having particles going all over the place.

I have the latest Kangaroo installed, and I turned the springs way down (even to 0.00 in one try), and the panelization down to various low values (125, 75, 50, 25 etc). Unfortunately, still very similar results.

Hi Dennis. Kind of late answer, but try not culling the Crv closest points and just plug them directly into the Curve Pull component. You will get smooth edge panels
