simple folding with kangaroo...

Hello again forum... I am trying to understand some basic folding principles with kangaroo and cant seem to get it to work right. I have a simple square mesh that I make into two triangles and I am trying to fold. please help. It should be so simple. The examples on the forum for folding are so complex and beautiful yet there aren't many very simple examples to study and I am going a little crazy here trying to get it right. The mesh does not move like a folded piece of paper would... I've included daniel's example in the script which I'm trying to learn from but to no avail.... please help! Thanks as always for your genius! -ethan

so I've been banging my head against the issue of unfolding and thought id share the progress in finding an example script that's well laid out and explained and adapting it with my simple geometry to unfold something. My goal is to make it "bidirectionally linked" like this : http://vimeo.com/39559828" but Im happy to even have it working a bit as I was going a bit crazy...

here are the files... if anyone knows how to help me with the bidirectionally linking

(so that it could be edited in its folded state or in its flat state) that would be GREAT!

Ill keep you posted on any progress! Thanks -Ethan

(btw big THANKS to Daniel Piker!!!!!)
