Bug splats for me. I tried it with the surface from that 231 model I posted yesterday and a simple circle drawn above it. I'll post a model as soon as I can.

This is how the Sandbox tool should have worked from the very beginning. Awesome work!

The Tigtools folder in the zip file is empty. Is it supposed to contain the toolbar icons, or do they still need to be designed?

[ken]

Whoa! Am I the only one without a icon image.

Nope

I'm having a bad day - that bottle of Chianti has a lot to answer for
I have updated the missing PNG files so if the 20 or so of you would like to reinstall from the updated zip file it should work...

What size is it? - it might be a scaling problem??

[Dave R]

I don't think it should be a scaling issue. I've recreated it and post it here. I only tried to drape the circle onto the surface below.

I too get the Bugsplat - weird - there seems nothing untoward at all - I'm investigating...

[Dave R]

Thank you.

Something weird about your mesh - how was it made ?
There are two missing diagonals to the side - when I added those it seemed better ?
I also used cut/paste_in_place on the mesh, which seemed to jolt it into submission.
It then SuperDraped OK but the material cloning was poor so I scaled up x10 with no improvement in the materials.
The 231 SuperDrapes readily onto a flat surface so I still have some investigating to uncover the issues...
I trialed it during today with various forms of draper/drapee groups without incident or loss of materials - thrust you to break it [thanks ]

[Dave R]

Curious. I drew the curves by putting arcs on the sides of a large box. Then I used Fredo's "Skinning of Shapes" tool to create the skin. I saw there were a few diagonals that weren't drawn in but I figured since the surface skinned over alright, they weren't needed.

Fix it and I'll break it again.

Awesome, TIG!!!!!!!!

Brilliant, thanks Tig.

[Bob James]

Thanks, TIG: Works great. On an object the text or texture is copied on the top and on the bottom (almost)!

I'm looking at trapping faces that are looking away from the draped group...
Meanwhile some careful erasing should fix it ?

Thanks TIG.

Thanks TIG.
In kirill2008, there is a similar plug-in on your, "Lss_Tool_Bar"
