      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?

        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.

          I've followed every step in your videos, but nothing happened when I click the button that transforming the cloth into grids.
          I'm using 2020 version of Sketchup.

            Upload your model so we can see how you have your model set up.

                  Sure, I've corrected my profile.

                  Then anything I can do now? I've tried to re-install the tool again, but still the same result.

                    As I asked you on Tuesday, share your .skp file so we can see what you have set up for this. With that we can diagnose your problem.

                      ...but I'm missing the right click / aka context menu which is preventing me from using the newly purchased plugin.

                      The Context menu is just that. The menu items in it depend upon the context you are clicking on. You are right clicking on loose geometry. To get Clothworks to show, you need to right click on a component or group.

                      When all else fails, read the manual.

                      Thanks for this clarification. However, I am having a similar problem with the context menu not showing Clothworks even though I'm clicking on a group.

                      The plugin works just fine when I make a simple shape into a group and then I see the context menu for Clothworks > Make Cloth. The problem is when I edit my shape (add to it, rotate)... then I try to group, I don't see the context menu. How can I know if my group is "top level" for the plug in to work?

                          When you double click on a group, you enter the context of a group, which contains faces/edges and probably sub-groups. A sub-group is NOT a top level group. A group is a top level provided it does not have any parent groups. In clothworks, you can only assign properties to groups or components that do not have parent groups.

                            Hello All,
                            Great plugin!!
                            Has anyone here tried modelling ship sails using ClothWorks?
                            I'm attempting to model lateen sails and want creases in the corners where the ropes attach.

                              I just did this as a quickie. The mast is set up as a collider and I put pins along the spars at the luff and foot.

                              A little bit of wind set in the UI.

                                This is where I've managed to get it to. I'm pretty happy with it but all comments and suggestions will be much appreciated.

                                  Looks reasonable to me. You put a whole lot more time into yours than I did into mine. 😉

                                    These examples remind me of experiments with MSPhysics from 2017.
                                    Here I had the sail aninated by means of randomly switched on and off subgroups.
                                    The individual phases of the sail were previously modeled as a group.
                                    A dream would be an integration of ClothWorks in MSPhysics.
                                    A little bit of wind would of course not be bad ... 😉

                                        Could you first upgrade to the latest version of ExtensionStore and see if you still have the problem.

                                          As Fredo pointed out, please update to the latest version of SketchUcationTools. If the problem still persists with activation, try deleting your licensing cache and then activating again as described in ClothWorks licensing manual, Known Issue section, #3: https://antonsynytsia.github.io/manuals/ClothWorks/license_manual_v174.pdf

                                            Hello Anton,

                                            I purchased the license the day before. But I am having some problems validating the license.
                                            Please help.

                                            system: OS X 10.11.6
                                            SketchUp: SketchUp 2017 pro
                                            Cloth works: ClothWorks_v1.7.4
                                            SketchUcationTools_v4.1.1

                                            I have been trying since yesterday. No any luck.
                                            By the way, I am not able to load the SketchUcation Plugin store in the extension, either.
