Test fold: Square-to-octagon flat diagonal shift

I’ve been working recently on designing flat twists where the number of facets of the twist doesn’t match the number of facets of the paper tube. Of course, I also had to extend the math to diagonal shifts. I’ve designed a couple models with non-flat shape change twists, but the flat version opens up some new design possibilities. I’m looking forward to incorporating this into new designs and seeing where it takes me.
