      Hello,

      I bought full version of your plugin, but I have 2 issue:

      • it doesnt save presets after I close SU and open again (I use "save us" button)
      • it is very slow when I tries to copy your setup from youtube (on empty file and no plugins workin, it has 5 FPS for 100 frames, than 1-2 FPS)

      My Sketchup v. 2021 Clothwork v.1.7.4c, comp spec Windows 10 pro, AMD Ryzen 9 3950X, 64 GB Ram, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti

      Do you have any tips to fix it? Or should I change Sketchup preferences?

        Anton will reply...

        BUT when you installed SketchUp was it done correctly ?
        You can always try the following method - it will do no harm to your current setup [except for perhaps fixing preferences !]

        Whilst you are logged into Windows using your normal user-account.
        Ensure SketchUp is closed.
        Find the SketchUp installer's exe file - usually in your Downloads folder...
        Select its icon and right-click > context-menu > "Run as administrator"
        When prompted choose "Repair" [for a brand-new installation it's "Install"]
        When it completes restart SketchUp and see if your tools' preferences/setting are now saved across sessions...

          thank you for replay

          before you post your comment I try not to use Polish font in name and that solve the problem

          I did as you mentioned and make Repair Sketchup as Admin but FPS it still poor
          Maybe it is like Cyberpunk2077, with Intel it works better than AMD πŸ˜‰

            ClothWorks simulation is purely based on CPU power for now.

            Unless already, can you ensure that Multi-threaded and Draw with OpenGL API is enabled? This should help with simulation performance.

              Hello,

              I ensure that Multi-threaded and Draw with OpenGL API is enabled. Would it help if I record performance?

              Does cloth presets are store in skp files? Should one preset should be enable in all files?

              Happy 2021 year πŸ˜„

                I that case, it looks like that's the best performance you can get from ClothWorks. Although it might help if you send a screenshot (a private message also works).

                A few presets are persisted globally (like multithreaded and drawing with opengl), while other options, like simulation wind and cloth material properties, are local to the file.

                    Does sketchup close for any model you press play with or with this particular one? Try opening a blank Sketchup template model and try pressing play.

                        Please install the latest version of the Sketchucation toolset, v4.0b.

                        It is required for compatibility with SU2021.

                        Thanks to advise if this works.

                          ClothWorks. Can anyone help please.
                          All has been working perfectly. Now it suddenly won't let me 'apply a quadrilateral grid' to the cloth. I click and get the message: Purge the selected grid of coplaner geometry. But there is no complex geometry! It's just a simple rectangle just like I've always done before! I've unistalled and re-installed. I've switched off and switched on again. Still nothing. Still the same block.
                          I'm writing as someone who's used Clothworks a lot and never had the slightest problem with it.
                          Any help v greatly received. Thank you

                            The message you're getting is "Purge the selected cloth of coplanar geometry, prior to generating a grid?" -- a question. You should click YES and it will proceed with generating the grid, and will do so successfully if your geometry turns out to be a quadrilateral or two triangles linked by an edge.

                              Hi Anton, please help
                              Your brilliant plugin has always worked perfectly for me. Suddenly the usual menu has disappeared! Instead of 'make cloth' and 'make collider' I get a long menu I've not seen before which reads:
                              Toggle UI
                              Toggle Play
                              Stop
                              Reset
                              Toggle Drape
                              Add pin

                              etc etc and so it goes on, but nowhere can I make a cloth or make a collider, so suddenly I can't use your plugin at all!

                              How do I get it working properly again?! I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but still exactly the same problem persists!

                              Do hope you can help me to sort this out

                              Thank you

                                  Hey, the Make Cloth and rgw Make Collider options are only available in the Context Menu. You can access the context menu by right-clicking on a top-level group or a component.

                                        Dear Anton,

                                        Thanks a lot for your Cloth Work Plugin.
                                        It's great and I'm having lot of fun with it.
                                        One question :
                                        Do you think Cloth Work will be the good plugin to simulate this pendant mobile ?
                                        Please see attached picture.
                                        If yes, could you give me the main keys to do it ?
                                        Best
                                        GaΓ«l

                                          Hi Anton,
                                          I've downloaded the plugin but I cannot use it.
                                          I'm able to click on the toggle play button when there's no object in the SketchUp, but after I drew something there's no response after I click the button.
                                          How can I solve this?

                                            I'm able to click on the toggle play button when there's no object in the SketchUp, but after I drew something there's no response after I click the button.
                                            How can I solve this?

                                            It sounds like you are missing some steps. Go back through the instructions and make sure you are following all of the steps correctly. Have you created a group or component and assigned it to be cloth? Have you applied the subdivision to the face?

                                            Which version of SketchUp are you actually using? Your profile indicates 2020 Free/Make which does not exist.
