Drape operations that run fine in Sketchup 7 but consistently crashes in Skecthup 8??
Go figure...

I thought I was the only one
Simple drape operations causes Bugslapt on SU 8
Here is a few things I have tried.
-SOMETIMES, if I copy and paste the geometry into a new SU 8 file, it works. 90 % of the time it doesn't
(my current work-around is to "save as SU7", open 7, drape it, save it, open it back on 8
-I have disabled all my plugins (by renaming the plugin folder) - didn't help - that tells me it is not plugin-conflict related.
-I have tried disabling hardware acceleration (just in case it had something to do with video card driver) - no change.
-I have reinstalled SU 8 - nothing.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.PS: I am running SU 8 on Win 7 x64

... forgot to mention that I have been able to obtain occasional success by grouping the geometry being draped.
I have created a SU 8 file with a relatively simple geometry that gives me a bugsplat
I created 4 cases: (grouped geometry on exploded target, grouped on grouped, etc.)
I am able to drape on cases 1 and 4 on SU 8 - no problem in all cases on SU 7.
Give it a try and post your results...!
Cheers

Same here: copy paste to V.7, do the drape, copy paste back to 8.
I actually find myself not even using V.8 at the moment.
We need to get this resolved somehow.
What is the best way to get inputs from the Sketchup support team on these issue? -
I have reported on Sketchup's official Bug report:
http://sketchup.google.com/support/bin/request.py?contact_type=bugMaybe if we can get everyone to report it over and over it they will fix it by this weekend

Just posted my report too...

I have received a response from the SU team; they were able to reproduce the error and comfirmed the bug:
"Thank you for your note. I've opened your file and was able to reproduce
the crash when draping on the two scenerios you provided where the drape
was onto exploded geometry. When draping onto a grouped surface it would
work fine and if I grouped the geometry on your two "exploded target"
sections those would also drape fine. The issue seems to be specific to
what you're draping on and whether or not its a group when I perform the
operation in SketchUp 8."It seems to me that if you group the "target" object it helps... sometimes.
