Hi Finema and friends
at this link:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/kqm1csr5w6b2g0o/31-05-Bottle_SimPanelingTool.zip/file
you will find the file, to adapt the object to the surface,
as you will see the approach is different from the amount that you have
posted James ... I think this also has its validity
Certainly it is not the paneling that can be achieved with
Paneling Tools- or Rhino's Morph Box (Grasshopper)
but it's always a good start for Moi-
You just have to open the file and then run it,
you will see different parameters, rows, columns, etc etc ...
change them to see how they work-
Have a nice day to all
