Unfolding a diagrid

I'm thinking of scripting a thing that unfolds a diagrid tube, such that it could be strips for laser cutting. The image below is something similar done by hand.

 

Anyone have experience?

 

I'm using a VB component written by Giulio Piacentino called newDiagonalsVB to aid this process.

    Here's a definition I've been working on to do something similar. It doesn't incorporate tabs like yours, but something like that shouldn't be too hard to add.
