I know that workaround but that is not what I really like

Can you please confirm that this extension works with the latest SU version? Thanks!

It does. You can install it using Sketchucation Tools: https://sketchucation.com/plugin/696-sketchucationtools and trial it to check for yourself

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to model a tensile tent in ClothWorks, with one side attached to the roof of a house.

I'm looking for some advice on the best ClothWorks settings for this type of tensioned membrane, but my main difficulty is positioning the pins accurately.

Is there a way to move the pins more precisely? The arrows are very large, so I have to zoom out to click on them, which makes it difficult to position the fixing points accurately.

Any advice would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Do you know if the developer is going to release an update for SketchUp 2027?

@anton_s
He is the developer and only he can confirm compatibility - and I know the PluginStore only lists up to v2024 for 'compatibility',
BUT if it's working in newer versions than that [and it seems that others have been using it successfully in v2026] then it should also work in v2027.
Download it and try it - report back on your experiences with it in v2027 - it will be helpful feedback for others and the author...

@TIG This is the error when opening SU2027.

Which "TT" extensions don't work in 2027? All the ones I have work as expected.
