[Plugin] ClothWorks v1.8.0 - 28 Apr 2024
-
Hi author. I am in Vietnam and I see that the technical community uses Sketchup in architectural design and other fields a lot, and at the same time I have noticed that people also use your ClothWorks Plugin. I have researched and aim to help people make good use of this Plugin in my country's technical community, as well as make your application more known. I would like to contribute a complete Vietnamese translation of the application. We look forward to your interest and will integrate this translation into the application in future updates.
Thank you. -
Hi Anton,
I can also confirm that Clothworks plugin crashes SketchUp 2022 pro (without any bugsplat info) a moment after I press toggle play button to start cloth simulation. I have a powerfull laptop MSI GS66, so hardware shouldn't be an issue here. I have Win 11. Sketchup, sketchucation and clothworks plugins are up to date. I tried to unistall and reinstall clothworks according to Your guide and nothing changed. Even simple file with rectangle (cloth) and cylinder (collider) crashes right after simulation starts. Can you please help? -

Hmmm.... I'm not seeing this with SketchUp 2022. 6 or 7 year old computer with Nvidia GeForce 960.
Click on the picture.
What graphics card in your computer? Windows 10 or Windows 11?
BTW, your profile indicates you are using 2017 Make. Please update your info. Thanks.

As I wrote, I have Windows 11 Pro. Also I have i7-11800H 2.30GHz, 32GB RAM and RTX 3080.
Sorry for inacurate profile info, it's just been corrected.

Lots of additional info is missing. Your input mesh or simulation settings could be the cause.
In many cases its the simulation settings that cause SketchUp to buckle. Try sharing a simple file that 100% fails on your system.

At firts I tried default setting suggested by plugin. Then I tried settings presented in plugin's author in manual. All leads to the same effect... but ok, I see I'm in the minority of users with such problem, so it's cause must be on my end. Will keep looking. Thank You all for help.

As Rich suggested, share the file that shows CLothworks crashing SketchUp so we can try to help you. No point in trying to sort it out on your own when there's help freely available.

Hi,
Thank you for the report!
Would it be possible for you to share the model with me? You can send me a private message or email to clothworks@sketchucation.com
Thanks,

For some reason I have no xontextaul menu with right click. Has somethng changed?
Stay well folks.

Make sure you're right-clicking on top level group/component to see the clothworks context menu.

Yes mate, got that and the basics. Something wrong with the model. At least that's the only thing I can come up with. Tried a new model and the context menue was apparent. Completed the process fine this time.
What can you do when clicknology has a fit of 'sod you'.

Hello!
I'm trying to find a way to simulate a cloth but with rounded corners and not using the Adaptive Grid subdivision, since it really messes up the mesh.Is there someone?

How does it mess up the mesh? Share your .skp file so we can see.
I don't have any issues with the mesh on a cloth with rounded corners and Adaptive Grid.

When I was trying to apply the Adaptive Grid, it was messing up the mesh next to the edges by putting too much tension on it. By doing that, in the end of the simulation it was visible some rough distortions (even with more subdivisions applyed).However, by putting some suportive lines on the mesh the Adaptive Grid could spread the subdivision more uniformly, than the problem around the edges was gone.
Anyway, thank you for your help.

Nice find! Yes, adding supportive lines allows you to control the subdivision. This does however suggest some improvements to the subdivision are needed. Thanks for your insight.

realmente una locura este plugin. te felicito

Trying to drape a roof canvas on an AFV, gets squirelly every time lately. Crash #537781
As per usual, something basic, can you tell me where I messed up please?
I know, barely trust myself to cross the road, sinusitis. Jubbly.

Hello
I'm trying to make a sheer material drape but the cloth is giving me one face that I can apply material too. (the back face of the material (grey part) How can I have two sided cloth? i hope this makes sense

Share the SketchUp model file so we can see what you've got. You should be able to apply the material to both sides.

Hi,
Is it possible to make round objects (group) a cloth? example; making a round cushion?
I now only can work with rectangle groups?
Greetings,
Rianne
