[Plugin] Drape Cpoints
-
Wow Adam that is a cool tutorial.
-
Thanks guys..glad it was helpful. Here's a few tests of the method on different shapes. It's not as good as a physics based cloth simulation, but the results are fairly convincing. For table cloths, you just need to make sure you have a ground shape object that is slightly larger than the table and in the same group, so that the Cpoints will drape down and onto the ground. The same method can be used to make water in a stream bed or snow on a rooftop.

Thanks!!
I have recently updated a version of the 'cloud' tool and a related delauney3 - do a search on the Plugins forum...
"and a related delauney3" can't find this?

The
delauney3.rbis a modified version I wrote to use with my version of TheTriangulate-Pointstool here http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=301274#p301274 = the .rb is in the zip file with the tool's .rb...
It in no way replaces or affects other tools using earlier 'delauney' scripts - however the earlier scripts can clash with so other tools so that is why I rewrote the modularized versions of them... -
Hi TIG - First off - Amazing Plugin! Currently trying to model a leather headboard and will be using it to get nice uneven edges for a more realistic look. This may have already been flagged up so please ignore if that's the case, but I can't seem to get the plugin to work in Sketchup 8. 6 is fine so its not causing me any hassle but I just thought it could be worth a mention. Again - thank you very much. I'll try to post the results when I get there.
-
It should work fine in v8.
Do you have the latest v8M3 installed ?
Do you get any error messages in the pre-opened Ruby Console when you run this tool ?
Do you have a 'rogue' script auto-loading that can cause issues by messing with the base-classes or making ill-formed observers ?
Examples are SketchyPhysics, Matchbox, DrivingDimensions and an old SolarStudy tool [I forget its exact name]...
If so, try moving them out of the Plugins folder and retry the tool... -
Great plugin thanks TIG!
But why not let the user choose his own projection axis instead of only using Z down ?
It would make the plug even more useful if you don't have to rotate the target group as intended before to use it.Cheers!
-
still one of my all time favourite plugins
-
Hey guys, is there an update versions of "Drape Cpoints", and "Triangulate Points"? thx!
-
Why do you need an update ?
The current versions should work...
