Whoa! Am I the only one without a icon image.

I'm having a bad day - that bottle of Chianti has a lot to answer for
I have updated the missing PNG files so if the 20 or so of you would like to reinstall from the updated zip file it should work...

Bug splats for me. I tried it with the surface from that 231 model I posted yesterday and a simple circle drawn above it. I'll post a model as soon as I can.
What size is it? - it might be a scaling problem??
-
I don't think it should be a scaling issue. I've recreated it and post it here. I only tried to drape the circle onto the surface below.

I too get the Bugsplat - weird - there seems nothing untoward at all - I'm investigating... -
Thank you.

Something weird about your mesh - how was it made ?
There are two missing diagonals to the side - when I added those it seemed better ?
I also used cut/paste_in_place on the mesh, which seemed to jolt it into submission.
It then SuperDraped OK but the material cloning was poor so I scaled up x10 with no improvement in the materials.
The 231 SuperDrapes readily onto a flat surface so I still have some investigating to uncover the issues...
I trialed it during today with various forms of draper/drapee groups without incident or loss of materials - thrust you to break it [thanks

Curious. I drew the curves by putting arcs on the sides of a large box. Then I used Fredo's "Skinning of Shapes" tool to create the skin. I saw there were a few diagonals that weren't drawn in but I figured since the surface skinned over alright, they weren't needed.
Fix it and I'll break it again.

Awesome, TIG!!!!!!!!
-
Brilliant, thanks Tig.
-
Thanks, TIG: Works great. On an object the text or texture is copied on the top and on the bottom (almost)!
-
I'm looking at trapping faces that are looking away from the draped group...
Meanwhile some careful erasing should fix it ? -
Thanks TIG.
-
Thanks TIG.
In kirill2008, there is a similar plug-in on your, "Lss_Tool_Bar"

TIG, thank you very much.
-
Thanks TIG, this will be very usefull.

Here's v1.1 http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=358314#p358314
Face 'pairing' of materials between the groups is now more robust, consistent and very unlikely to fail.
Only topmost faces now usually gets draped onto - if you have overlapping faces in the groups the drape should not now 'punch through' onto lower faces, unless the faces are with ~5mm of each other vertically - still it's best to have single-skin meshes to super-drape...The splat/error reported by Dave_R is now avoided by recoding... BUT it doesn't fix his mesh itself, which had two quad-faces that appeared coplanar but caused splats because when the mesh was intersecting with other entities they made the result unstable - after erasing those two faces they would no reface with 'find_faces', but adding a diagonal fixes the issue as they two triangles are just on the cusp of the difference between a viable quad and two triangular faces that are not coplanar. I await for Dave to re-break this version

Hi TIG,
I've tried it with no success. I do not know if that's my fault. See Picture below.

I can't get any error messages, BUT I don't get a good result either!
BUT if I explode each group in turn and immediately regroup the highlighted entities... and then use SuperDrape with them it works just fine
I suspect that there's some duplicate/tiny faces or similar 'errors' is the group[s] that cause issues - but the explode+regroup fixes them...
I'll see what I can come up with - in the meanwhile use the explode+regroup trick and it seems fine again...
