Trouble orienting section planes to be laid flat

Hi everyone,

 

I am currently trying to layout my grasshopper model components to be laid out flat on a sheet so I can bring them into illustrator and create a template for laser cutting. I've placed a section plane on each of my pieces of geometry so that it can be transferred onto a 2D sheet. The problem I'm having is trying to orient and reposition them onto surface planes.

 

The method I've tried is attaching the section planes into a orient node connected to series of other nodes given to me by my university tutor but all it does is recreate the entire set of section planes at every point. What I am trying to achieve is individually having these section planes laid flat on the xy plane in order to transfer to a sheet for laser cutting.

 

I've attached an image of what I'm trying to achieve along with my definition, if somebody could have a look at them and help explain to me what I'm doing wrong that would much appreciated!
