Splitting polygons with no shared edges

I have a simple cloth grid shown in A which has been grouped/blasted/poly-extruded. I would like to reproduce the geometry on a smoothed version of the cloth.

Adding a subdivide after the group SOP produces B, and the Polyextrude produces C (Average Positions) or D (No Sharing). It looks like I need to remove the sharing of vertices at the corners of each square, but I'm not sure how to do this. Any suggestions?

Fuse SOP > unshared edges
There's at least one school like the old school!

'Unshared Edges' is not present in the Fuse SOP.

I've had a look at Fuse and this is the closest I can get. Increasing the distance threshold further connects corners together.

Perfect - Thank you!

I'll keep in mind the power of group conversion
