      I find the built in drape tool to be more of a projection tool. Where it projects a pattern onto an irregular surface. Is there a plugin that would for example take a 2 dimensional plain and drape it over a 3 dimensional surface like you would see if you threw a blanket over a soccer ball? Thanks!

          Does this plugin maintain the original dimensions of the object being draped? I am trying to determine the amount of material I would need to vacuum form plastic over an object. Thank you for the advice.
