      QFT doesn't like that at all...tons of duplicate and reverse faces plus surface weirdness.

        How are you converting from ClothWorks to QFT?

          I was using Convert Wireframe To Quads....that was my mistake. Convert Triangulated Mesh To Quads does the trick. I got there in the end - thanks for pointing me in the right direction Rich.

            An easier way to use SUbD to subdivide the plane and explode to apply SUbD. Then convert that QFT compliant mesh to a cloth.

            Make sure Boundary Corners is set to Sharp in the SUbD dialog.

              I'll give that a go, thanks.

              Looking good so far, but I need to dig into the manual so that I can appreciate the full potential.

                  I want to create chains following a path, I use copy along path normally to get chain links to follow a line, I used to use 'Rope fall' to create the path line but that is too slow and the author is AWOL does not answer his emails. So, will there be a way to drape a line? (I do not need a mesh, just a line so I can either copy along or use follow me if I want a rope.).

                    It alreadt support draping lines. Read the tutorial in the manual.

                        Make sure the texture is applied to the faces not the group.

                            Yep.

                            Draw a line, divide it and drape.

                              Divide works on a simple line, but what about a more complex line, divide is not an option, is there a plugin to divide multiple attached lines?

                                Either Fredo's Bezier Spline or Fredo Tools will give you suitable options for dividing or segmenting.

                                  Have you tried welding the complex line?

                                    bezier spline worked like a charm.
                                    Too bad there is no plugin that can divide a welded line into equal segments.

                                      Both will, particularly Fredo Tools, Divide Edges.
                                      Unless I'm not understanding what you want. But after 4am need sleep now.

                                        Ooops, I think I made my cargo net just a bit too flexible!

                                        I didn't really understand all controls for Cloth, how do you control the elasticity of a material without making the cloth stiffer?
                                        For example, in your case, for the ball to not slip through the holes in the net, but the net to fall naturally?
