Hello Anyone,
I was told to try hear to find out how to get my validation email sent to me. I did purchase Cloth Works on July 26th, 2019. I did receive my Pal Pay receipt but still waiting on the email from Sketchucation to complete the license.

I have tried to contact MikeL and Rich from their provided email message area`s from Contacts on this site. I have not heard anything from them and it is now the 31st. How can I get in touch with them to get the email. I have no choice but to have Pay Pal get my money back. I am lost and never have waited this long and to not hear anything, well sucks. I hope someone can help ...I just want to use the product.....

Hello 1852sketch,

I confirm that you've purchased ClothWorks. Our system sent out the license at time of the purchase by email. I've re-sent you your purchased ClothWorks license now. The email address you gave at the purchase and your email address what is registered here are different. Now I've sent the license to both email addresses. I hope you'll receive it this time.

Thank you for your purchase.

I've been using this extension for some time now but I currently have an issue. Clothworks is crashing when ever I go to drop a cloth over a 3d item. Single plane it has no issue, but if there are 2 or more angels outside of the one plane it crashes with no warning, or lag.

If you share the SKP file so we can see what you are trying to do, we can give you some help.

Yes, please share a model or send me a private message of your model, that I could look into the issue. Also, are you using ClothWorks v1.7.0 or an older version?

Anton,
I DM'd you a skp file and screen capture of what happens. It happens with all SKP files no matter how complicated or simple. At first I thought maybe the geometry I was using was too complicated but you can see with that simple file simple draping does not work for me. This file used a quadrilateral grid at 3000 and default settings. I've uninstalled CW and reinstalled it. Versions of my software are:

OSX Mojave Version 10.14.5
sketchup Version 19.2.221
ClothWorks version 1.7.0a

Joe Keller,

I am able to reproduce the crash on my Mac OS X 10.14 but not on my Windows 10. I will look into fixing the issue as soon as possible. Thank you for the report!

Just bought this plugin and saw a new version released (1.7.1a) but when updated the toggle UI interface is not working anymore. It can't be opened. I use SU 2019 PRO on win 10.

The Toggle UI toolbar option works correctly on my system. Please do a clean installation of the plugin. Navigate to your plugins folder and delete ams_ClothWorks folder and ams_ClothWorks.rb file. Then do a clean installation of version 1.7.1.

There are two plugin folders. To navigate to the first plugins folder, open a file explorer window and paste the following into the address bar: %appdata%\sketchup\SketchUp 2019\SketchUp\Plugins

The second plugins folder is located at:
C:\ProgramData\SketchUp\SketchUp 2019\SketchUp\Plugins

Ensure that original version is deleted from both folders prior to installing the new version.

Maybe you are using not a last release of SU (2019.2)? Because I did exactly you adviced and still the problem exists... I can make a gif screenshot in order to prove it.

This is what I see on 2019.2.

Ok, so what's the problem with mine? See an attached gif by link https://dropmefiles.com/gDreG.

Dave R

When you installed 2019.2, did you do so correctly? That is, did you right click on the downloaded installer and choose Run as administrator while logged into Windows under your normal user ID? We've seen lots of weird problems related to incorrect installation of SketchUp when users haven't used Run as administrator.

@summerson1990 I fixed the issue. Please update to 1.7.2. The problem had to do with non-ascii username. I originally relied on the ENV variable to get path to appdata. I see that the ENV variable has issues with non-ascii usernames. With 1.7.2, I updated to use Windows API to get the appdata path. Thank you for the report and my apologies for the inconvenience!

Help needed...
I`m rather new to sketchup- I am playing around with Clothworks and I have ran in to a problem regards adding a pattern to the cloth. I have followed the instuctionvideo to the point- but the pattern breaks/cracks in the bendings (see pic.) what am I doing wrong? hoping someone can help me on the way- Thanks

Anton_S

@jbf You have to apply pattern (material) directly to the faces of the cloth. Do not apply material to the top level group. See one of the ClothWorks videos for applying material.
