      That is odd Tig, I removed it and tried again.
      Same thing, not in the extensions until I restart, the toolbar was there straight away.
      It's not an issue, just odd, and I was looking in the right place.

        This script does a 'tidy up', so no need to remove old files etc...
        Strange about it appearing/not in Extensions...
        The other issue I am trying to fix is that the toolbar appears initially ticked but it's not showing, then you un-tick it and it's still not showing, then you re-tick it and it finally shows ! 😒

          Here's v3.1 http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=358314#p358314
          No dramatic changes... but the toolbar now appears correctly after an rbz install...
          As I said before...
          The update is part of my Extension-izing of my toolsets...
          You can now download it as either a ZIP or an RBZ archive.
          If you have the recent SUpv8M2 you can now simply install the tool's file/subfolder+files from the RBZ format archive using Preferences > Extensions > Install Extension button...
          Otherwise use the ZIP version as before, extracting and installing the files/subfolder_files manually into the Plugins folder, and restarting...
          Note that as an Extension it must now be activated initially with the Preferences > Extensions > Super Drape checkbox.
          And as an Extension it can now be activate/deactivated as desired using that checkbox to optimize Sketchup's tool-loading and memory-usage...
          You may also need to activate the toolbar, depending on whether it's a new install or not etc...

            TIG, thanks for a great tool. And all your others as well. They're fast becoming the first tools I look to for my projects.

                It's ker-splatting me too. Maybe I'm trying to drape too large an area?

                  Hello to All,

                  I would like to project a transparent logo on a cylindrical surface.

                  I thought I could do it with Superdrape. I've edited the "PNG Image" with "Imagetrimmer". But ImageTrimmer creates a component. SuperDrape only works with a group. If I transform, the component in a group than the texture gets mixed up .

                  Does anyone know another solution?

                  Charly

                    Just a thought but could you draw a circle below (or above) the circle you just cut out and then apply the material as Projected to that circle before using it to drape onto the cylinder?

                            This is awesome! Used it loads already.

                            Is it possible to have the resultant lines and faces go to default layer 0 or a specified layer instead of matching the layer of the surface it's being draped onto? That was I could hide the surface and picked out the draped lines and faces all curvy n such 😄

                            D

                                I love this tool! It worked great this morning - several times.
                                This afternoon - 4 bugsplats in a row, right as I click the second group.

                                I even reinstalled it.. splat.

                                I haven't changed anything in the program.. no updates on anything since using SU this morning. I don't know what I'm doing to cause the splat.

                                  Have you used Model Info > Statistics > Fix Problems... ?
                                  Have you tried moving the draped object a tiny amount ? Sometimes small facets cause issues.
                                  Alternatively Scale everything up x10 or x100 and retry. Scale down afterwards...

                                    Back after testing.

                                    I had not used the statistics fix, but do use TT's cleanup frequently.

                                    moved objects.. centered on origin.. nudged.

                                    scaled up by 10 and 100

                                    all splats 😞

                                      Thanks TIG, another useful plugin. This will be quite helpful in draping 2D site plans with materials onto a 3D terrain.

                                          Can I drape solids? can I do it with a mesh made in sandbox? I need to make a road that follow the terrain, I bought Instant road and I couldn't make it work, I tryed super drape but it crashes, what can I do? or how can I do it?

                                          Thanks

                                            This doesn't drape 'solids' - only 'faces' - it you explode the solid and get the faces to drape?...

                                            It you want to 'imprint' solids onto a terrain that's a 'whole new kettle of fish'... 😕
