Thank you everyone.
Hi Igniter,
Attached are the additional nodeeditor files needed.
For MoI4Beta, to plot the torus curves:
1. Have nodeeditor installed, on Windows (hopefully in %appdata%), or Mac, as documented on the forum.
2. Add MappingC.js to the nodeeditor/nodes/extensions folder. This will add ConformalMapT node to the transform2 menu. (I have yet to add normals to this node.)
3. Backup and replace objects2.js in the extensions folder. This contains slightly modified separateObj node, which will now pass on single subcomponent curves.
4. Open nodeeditor canvas in MoI4Beta and load ConformalMapKagome01.nod.
Run this nod. (Some of the "extra" wires are disconnected.)
The curves will be generated piecemeal, and at least one continuous string will
have to be manually joined. There are some extra duplicate curve segments, which can be avoided.
Any additional copy rotates and trims of the torus surface are up to the user.
Additional unnecessary remarks:
(Using the get_by_style node (color "coral" as set up), the lines on the flat torus could be created and mapped and likely avoid the joining. (Yet to be tried.))
(The get_by_style input method needs miscellaneous curve/ line segments to be entered in quadrant I of the MoI4Beta screen, before loading the ConformalMapKagome01 node. (Also connect the disconnected wires.)
