                        Okay, I tried this and do like it on simple drops, however it's very slow on moderate drops, wished it was faster or there was a way to input a less complicated fall (maybe less smooth).

                        Next I want to drape a rope ladder however this plugin is limited to a single rope, any plans to expand this?

                          Solo, thanks for the feedback.

                          The speed depends mainly on how complex the model is underneath the rope sketch. More precisely, underneath the upper X-Y square of the bounding box around the polyline. So you can speed up roping by temporarily hiding model parts in this volume.

                          What do you mean by "this plugin is limited to a single rope"? You can draw as many ropes as you wish, see Massimo's example pics above. So whats your plan exactly?

                                        Collage,

                                        thank you for your purchase, I have just sent you the licence key to your paypal email adress. Sorry for the delay. The Ropefall purchase process still involves a manual step, namely signing and sending out the licence key, that takes place within a businesss day after purchase. Now you have the key, please contact me at ropefall@sketchrope.com if you encounter any problems with it.

                                        The licence key is technically bound to a single machine (and OS user), thus your key only works on the machine you initiated the purchase from. Nevertheless I am happy to send another key to you for your other machine. I will contact you regarding this.

                                        happy roping,
                                        Balazs

                                          Hy,

                                          I'm posting here some suggestions that I also emailed to the developer (and he suggested that should be posted publicly). Maybe (some) of them you will find interesting too:

                                          -bending radius to depend on the diameter (the thicker the "hose", or rope, the loose the loop
                                          -also bending radius to be controlled with a rigidity parameter... it doesn't have to be realistic or scientific, but rather empirical is enough. To have sort of 0..1 or 0..100 rigidity values, where 0 means completely soft (it would be nice even if the tube flattens at curves) and 100 means 100% stiff and just a bit of material elasticity would bend it. Like a long wooden stick supported by its ends.

                                          Also, another idea was if the rope can be extended to a mesh. After all what's one edges and what's more edges interconnected?
                                          I am not thinking here to a dense mesh, but to a proxy, that can be later subdivided using Artisan or subD into a more refined mesh.
                                          Also, this mesh could consider "thickness", so after it's folded/dropped, to be able to get thickness using Fredo's Interactive PushPull. Means that the folds would not collapse completely, but they would keep a virtual gap that would allow the thickness to be added ...

                                            Is any option to deactivate addon for move license to another machine?; I have the same problem with 2 workstations;
