Now the best will be a little script or Elephant for automatise the down levels
or maybe a tricky use of existing functions (Loft, Sweep, NetWork...) for have directly plane surfaces from false surfaces! (dream :)
I have seen during this little exercise than NetWork has numerous parameters! (Uniform with number of Points...)
By hands it's 20 seconds for the last 4 top quads ;)
For this : here by hands its nothing for 12 quads but when you have 200-300 it's another story :)
It's true Quads "plane" built by external perimeter!
