Insert Mesh Curve Tri-Parts Settings Help

I have been trying to make a low poly hair strand Insert Mesh brush, and I am having trouble with the tri part welds. the tri parts weld to the separate parts seem to work, but in the middle were it repeats, the middle part for the length the sections very rarely I have tried to adjust the overlap and curve res with little to no luck, these pics are to illustrate the problem. these are the same settings I just created another brush and the problem was better but not all the way fixed the first pic was almost rite the other two show the problem if anyone has any ideas the help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Jono,

You might want to have a look at the this topic (http://www.zbrushcentral.com/showthread.php?193916-Lowpoly-Hair-Brush)
came across the same problem

thanks that looks like another route to try I appreciate it.

I think I figured out were I was going wrong, if anyone else has the same problem.
the number of polygons on a plane, have to be evenly distributed, so the segments or parts for the tri part IM brush to connect sections of the same segment. like in my case, the middle segment in the low poly hair strand, or any tri part would have to repeat to give length . I don’t know if this would be a problem with more complex geometry but this seems to be the case with a poly plane that was formed in Maya. Also thanks for the help Wyattfox it was much appreciated and looking at the examples made the light bulb over my head go off so to speak.
