      Thanks for this plugin.

      I've been having a lot of trouble with errors with grid parsing, even with simple geometry. Would anyone be able to quickly diagnose what is wrong with the attached model?

      Thanks again,

      Brian

        There were little edges or errors in your quad mesh, after repairing them, it worked like a charm...

            Hi,

            I have a curved roof to make with some simple wedge shaped shingles. Each time I try to use Flowify to bed the shingles onto the 'roof' I get a strange result making the result, un-flowified and huge.

            I am puzzled and presume I must be doing something wrong. I explode all the components and groups of the shingles so it is only what I believe to be raw geometry, then group it place it on the target quad mesh, click on Flowify.

            Any ideas where I've messed up? (skp attached).

            I'm using SU pro 2015

            Thanks

            [Edit] Realised it's something to do with multiple objects, but I this seems to work in the Demo Video?

              Thank you for the file! It's a bug in Flowify and it seems to be in the intersection part of the extension, so you can still use**'Flowify without cut'**. Maybe that is enough?

              Nevertheless, I'm looking into it.

                Volume to project can't be group of groups!
                So explode all many time and re-group !

                Surface Start must be a surface and not a volume!

                But there is also something wrong in your first original shingle!

                So redraw it!

                Another thing : center your target surface for avoid over crossing of the 2 lines toward the extremities!

                Edit : seems i move over a bug! πŸ’š

                    Hello,
                    I am having problems shaping this perforated disc into the target dome. Keep getting this INPUT ERROR, screen grab attached.
                    Can anyone help? Are domes not possible? I gave it a base square as I read flowify only works with quads.
                    I successfully did it with a different shape yesterday I copied off a video tutorial.
                    I would appreciate any advice.
                    Many thanks.

                      Why not publish your SKP file problem?
                      It's difficult to say something about an image! πŸ˜„
                      Maybe there are some overlapings...but without the file...

                        You can use the quadfacetools (Thomthom) to control the quads...
