My reasoning for this is because with box pleating, the axial creases are all on 90 degree angles and the 45 degrees are for ridge creases. The grids place axial creases on the grid lines. Seeing that the axial creases on a 22.5 degree angle cp are always at 90 or 45 degrees while the ridge creases are all 22.5, wouldn't it make sense for a grid to be used at 90 and 45 degree angles?
I plan to give this a try, but if somebody has already tried this before, please stop me before I end up banging my head on the wall...
This is the right questions to ask...
With regards to learning how to do variations on 22.5 based c.ps ..one person to follow would be Michelle Fung.
http://www.michellefung.net/cpsI'm her website explains why she has provided more than twenty c.p.s. based on 22.5 with parallel bisectors 90° 45° no need to do unnecessary box grids but she did use them in her early models....If you begin with her Kokeshi Doll tutorials on YouTube..
https://youtu.be/dVwnWYYp2F8 her technique of creasing is a pleasure to watch then she shows you the collapse and shaping..
Her diagram of Ribbon Kitty
https://youtu.be/1T5cwgACCVY is harder to follow ..because the paper is turned inside out more than once and she uses tucks...and sinks..Other videos of models on her site..the Awareness Angel
Umbrella
The Beaver Head is quite easy ..Then the rabbit head..She seemed to learn in that sequence.
The sailor moon dolls original as assembled from four pieces
Snowman based can be used for other mammals
The short haired person ones were fun!!
Good luck
