Series and ranges

Once again I feel that I cannot see the trees for the forest...

I have a polygon that I am trying to separate into smaller parts with a smaller skewing at the first point. Hard to explain but I think the attached image is lucid.

Anyways, I have been able to sync up the various lines so that the correct ones can come together and create a new polygon through the edge surface command. The problem is, the way I have set it up means I can only get one of them to produce. I could re-create the piece 'n' times and adjust every single one accordingly to get the pieces, but I'm assuming that's not what I should be doing. Is there a way to make these come out with the 8 planar surfaces according to the subdivision I'm looking for? I feel like it has something to do with lists/series, but I'm not exactly sure what...

Files attached.

Much appreciated.

-BC.

Hello BC

you can do the following

the first solution uses rotate and the surface you have already created.

the second solution uses list/trees to get to the point to create the surfaces. You merge the 4 lines needed for each polygon into one list, creating a data tree with as many branches as the sides of the polygon. You have created three lists of lines, so the middle radial ones need to be repeated and shifted so that you have all four sides for each polygon you want to make.

cheers
