[Plugin] ClothWorks v1.8.0 - 28 Apr 2024

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.

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.
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,

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

You can use a circle for the coth. Drape it over a rounded form for a cushion if you want.

I acquired a license for ClothWorks, and installed the plugin and activated the license as specified in the instructions.
The plugin appears in the Sketchup menu (also with right click) and the icons are visible in the toolbar.
However, a feature that is apparently linked to the paid license (i.e. 'compressing' the pins) doesn't work. I can only select the set of individual pins, but the Gizmo to manipulate the combined pins is never activated.
I tried already to release the license, uninstall, exit and relaunch Sketchup, reinstall the plugin and re-activate the license. It all doesn't help...
I have the plugin installed on 2 PC's (Windows 10 and 11). It doesn't work on both PC's (the license is valid for 3 devices, by the way).
Any suggestions to fix this issue are highly appreciated. I bought this plugin basically to do some modelling of curtains, and without the feature to compress the pins, this plugin is quite useless to me. -
Do you also have the current version of the Sketchucation Extension Store installed?
-
Hi, I think so. I have version 4.3.1. Not sure if it's really the most recent version?
I don't recall how I installed it. The SketchUcation store (and also this site) lacks indeed a bit of userfriendlyness in my view. Difficult to navigate as far as I'm able to do.
By the way, I also have the Fredo6 bundle installed (via the SketchUcation store) and that works fine. I installed this bundle half a year ago (together with the most up-to-date version of the SketchUcation store at that time). The ClothWorks extension (that I acquired some days ago) dates from before this date, so I would assume that my actual SketchUcation store version must be compatible with the (older) ClothWorks extension?
