load_curves()
fit_nurbs()
spine = compute_spine(curves)
frames = compute_rmf(spine)
S0 = loft(curves, frames)
rules = parse_RBZ(script)
S = optimize_surface(S0, rules, weights)
panels = panelize(S, rules.panel_size)
flatten_panels(panels)
export(panels, S)

Scenario: You have 3 rectangles drawn at different heights and rotated slightly.
