    I'm having an issue with draping circles onto a curved surface to mimic a perforated surface. It appears circles with a diameter of 1" cannot be draped? I've tested this on a flat surface to drape on a flat surface and it seems once you start getting above 4" diameter the circle won't drape.
    Is this me or is this a software limitation?

      I expect this is done to prevent the creation of very tiny edges that could create problems. You can get around it using the "Dave Method" though. It worked for me, anyway.

      BTW, your profile says you are using SketchUp 2013. Maybe you could update that information?

        I suspect you may be using more than the default 24 segments for your circles.
