Measured Drawings
Measuring Methodology The chosen object is a pine cone with the opened panels. Some photographs were taken from both the top view and the side view of the object on a flat plan. Then the cutting section was scanned. The scanning and photographs were printed out and traced accurately.

The dimesions of the object were measured on the real pine cone by a tape measure and shown on the drawing with a scale in 1:1.

Analysis
The left drawings shows that the panel of the pine cone stick with a suppport plane of the core. So the panel can move while the support plane moves.
4
The drawings above show what the panel of the pine cone look like and the geometric form.
When the panels close, the support planes bent to the core. The panels are arranged closed to each other and nearly no gap between each one. This form repeat layer by layer in different sizes without gap either.
When the panels open, the support planes of the core stretch to the out. Gaps appear between each panels on one layer. This form repeat layer by layer in different sizes with the gaps in between.
