Plugin that will crate a skin by 'draping' over a shape.

Hi everyone

First time posting on forum ever so please excuse any mistakes

Basically I'm looking for a plugin that would assist me.

I have a series of domes and tunnels that are all connected. Think Eden project in the UK.

I was wondering if there is a plugin that would 'Drape' (I've tried the drape tool on sand box) a skin over the collection of shapes and create a single skin that would match the shape, but be all connected, preferably with the option to smooth out the angular connections.

In real life terms think of Vacuum forming plastic over something - what you have left is a plastic skin molded to the shape.

Happy holidays and thanks in advance for any recommendations or pointers.

Use TIG Drape CPoints to create a grid of points. Then skin/mesh the cpoints with TopoShaper

Thanks Rich, Great help and can think of a few more applications for this method.
