Hi, Does this extension work in Sketchup2020? I am getting stuck already at creating the quadrilateral grid step (nothing is created).
Best regards,
Ksenia -
Yes. It works in SketchUp 2020. Here it is caught in process.
Did you applying the grid to a component?

Hope someone can help me out, I ran into this issue today when trying to activate my licence again as I haven't used Clothworks for quite sometime, so straight to the point, when I try to use Menu>Clothworks>Licence this message pops up, as you can see clothworks is installed but i cant activate my licence, any ideas as to why this is happening, please excuse me but im just a modeler and am computer literate when it comes to issues like this.

Have you tried reinstalling the SketchUcation Toolset - it includes the SCF_licensing stuff...
https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=SketchUcationTools
The file reported as missing is in its subfolder set ?? -
Yes I did, still the same error every time
-
Do you have the latest version of the SketchUcation Toolset installed ?
Its RBZ is available from the PluginStore...The 'missing' .so file referred to in the error-message...
If you manually open the folder referred to in the message is that file there ?If so, then am suspecting that there's a permissions issue and the license code/SketchUp can't read the required subfolder/file...
When you installed SketchUp did you do it in the correct way ?
You can always try to fix the installation as follows...Whilst logged into Windows as your normal user-account ensure that SketchUp is closed.
Find the installer's exe file - usually in your Downloads folder.
Select that exe file's icon, right-click > context-menu > "Run as administrator"
When prompted choose "Repair"...
When it completes try again...Installing any complex app in any other way can lead to unpredictable problems later - so never double-click an installer's exe file's icon to 'Run' it - even if your user account has admin-powers if is NOT the same thing...
Preinstalled extensions etc should not be adversely affected by doing the 'Repair'
But one issue that might arise is that some already installed files might have their permissions ruined thus far, you can try reinstalling them for current RBZs to see if that helps... -
Hi,
Does this work with SU 2020??
thanks

@iichiversii It is possible that you have SketchUcationTools installed in multiple plugin folders, which causes only one (and the unwanted one) to be loaded. Please perform the following steps to ensure that you have only one installation:
- Close SketchUp (if open)
- Open your File Explorer
- Paste the following into the address bar:
%programdata%\SketchUp\SketchUp 2020\SketchUp\Plugins
Replace 2020 with 2019 if you're using a prior SketchUp version. Press the enter key. This should navigate you the first plugins folder if the folder exists. - If the folder exists, delete SketchUcationfolder and SketchUcation.rb file.
- Now, navigate to the other folder, by pasting the following into the address bar: %appdata%\SketchUp\SketchUp 2020\SketchUp\Plugins and also delete the SketchUcation folder and file.
Upon performing the steps above, you should then do a fresh installation of the SketchUcationTools:
- Download latest SketchUcationTools at the following URL: https://sketchucation.com/resources/plugin-store-download
- Open SketchUp
- Access and select (Menu) Extension Manager
- Within the extension manager window, click on the Install Extension button
- Select the downloaded pluginstore.rbz file and click Open.
Upon performing the steps, your SketchUcationTools should start working again (unless the issue has to due with what TIG mentioned in the previous post).
If this does work, ensure that you don't have any other duplicate plugins installed.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
I did not find a way to save my presets I already manage, like the one for pillows, an other for curtains ...
If I stay on my sketchup drawing file I have my saved presets ok. But if I draw a cloth on an other sketchup file impossible to retrieve my clothworks presets.
Do I miss something ? Will it be possible to manage them as personal datas we can share and use where we want ?
thanks -
I have been trying to create another flag. The first one I create a year or so ago worked great. This time, however, my context menu is not showing ClothWorks → Make Cloth or ClothWorks → 1 Cloth → Apply Quadrilateral Grid. What am doing wrong? I am using Sketchup 2019 and have your latest plug-in as well as sketchucation's latest plug in. I have installed both and restarted SUP 2019. Still no context menu with Clothworks in it.

Hi. Great question! ClothWorks shared materials (the ones you manage with Save and Rename buttons) are only bound to a SketchUp model creating them. To use the same materials in another model, simply export them from your previoous model and import them into your new model. Make use of:
- (Menu) > Extensions > ClothWorks > Export Materials
- (Menu) > Extensions > ClothWorks > Import Materials

Hi! Is your flag grouped and is it a top-level group? If so, is your ClothWorks installed? To check if ClothWorks is there, you should see ClothWorks in your Extension Manager window.

Can you please add that feature. that allow us to Scale the Cloth X Y and Z axis separately. Right now cloth Scale option scale uniformly from all axis.
bug in SketchUp 2020
every time I select a cloth it's turn on "Show Hidden Objects" a new feature of SketchUp 2020.Thanks

Hi Anton
I am loving the potential of Clothworks but am struggling with it constantly crashing Sketchup when I press go on the simulation. I have tried reinstalling extension and simplifying my model. It seems to be connected with applying the grid prior to the simulation. I am using Sketchup Make 2017 on the following machine spec 16gb ram,
Operating System
Windows 10 Professional (x64) Version 1903 (build 18362.778)System Model
Apple Inc. MacBookPro11,5 1.0Processor
2.50 gigahertz Intel Core i7-4870HQThanks for your help

What graphics card? Typically crashes related to large amounts of geometry are related to graphics issues. And you're running Windows 10 on a MacBook Pro? Parallels? There have been other reports of issues with graphics by others using SketchUp in Windows on Macs. Maybe you're running into the same thing. What happens if you try Clothworks in SketchUp on Mac instead?

RicHi Ric! Thank you for your sincere feedback! Does this crash with every model, or just a particular one? If it is a particular model, can you attach it with a post that I could investigate the issue? You can also, instead, email it to (clothworks@sketchucation.com) Thanks!
It may also be an issue with a graphics card as Dave pointed out in the post above. In that case, try reducing the grid resolution you apply to your cloth.

I saw this tutorial this morning:
Youtube Videoand whilst I have the Cloth plugin I haven't used it much beyond curtains etc.
Sooooo, I thought I'd have a go, this is an idea for a social media push with each of the videos being released a few days apart. The results below are just a test, If the client was interested then a bit more thought would be put into the model/materials etc.
Rendered in Enscape, each video took about 2mins to render
UnWrap1:
Youtube VideoUnWrap2:
Youtube VideoUnWrap3:
Youtube VideoUnWrap4:
Youtube VideoUnWrap5:
Youtube VideoNo4 seems far too similar to 3 and maybe if 4 was with the wrapping very nearly flat it could be better.
TutorialsUp has some really good tuts on their channel, well worth a look.
