The guideline is that your curves should be arranged so that they have a 2D grid type arrangement to them, the same kind of thing where latitude and longitude lines on a globe of the world form a grid that can be re-arranged to a 2D rectangular map.

Each of your longitude lines should cross over the full set of latitude lines.

Visually it looked good, but the actual arrangement and sizing of the curves at the ends there did not make a "formal" grid layout (shown above with that small piece not matching the rest of the grid).

Unfortunately MoI needs the curves you give it to definitively form a regular grid pattern, it isn't able to handle it if your curves visually look similar to a grid but need some re-arranging (including merging or splitting pieces) to actually form a true grid.


I hope that helps!
