Drape Buggery Splattery
-
I'm fed up with Drape! All too often it bugsplats - and I can not find a predictable pattern. I've spent the best part of the morning trying to drape a small piece - but it keeps splatting. Drape is probably the most unstable tool in SketchUp I've used.
I'm not the only one, right?
Has anyone found any kind of pattern to the splats? -

Must be something in the air. I'm going through the same thing trying to work out a terrain. I'm on bugsplat number 20 at least. With this project due in a few hours, I'm ready to throw my PC out the window.
EDIT- #22

I've found that scaling the 'draper' and 'drapee' forms by x10 reduces [but doesn't stop] the problem.
Scale down x0.1 after draping... -
Good to know TIG thanks. Also using your extrude edges by vector script, you can pull the edges down through the mesh and perform an intersect and this will cut the edges into the terrain. This seems to be a more predicable solution.
Projection Tools also has a project edges option which will perform a pretty reliable drape. 1001 bits also has a drape tool that seems to give mix results in my testing.

I used to not be able to drape ANYTHING in SU 8..
My work around was usually the extrudeEdge>Intersect, or paste-in-place in SU7>drape>paste-in-place back.A few months ago I made a test file and sent it to the SU Team.
I posted their response here:

I thought SU8m2 had fixed drape bugs... I guess I was wrong
(Try draping lines in the attached file) -
Attached?
