<![CDATA[Flowify issue]]>Hello All,
I'm having an issue with flowify. i have taken all the right steps when it comes to preparation before initiating flowify but it seems my object is too heavy, maybe due to heavy geometry and such. when ever i try to flowify it freezes and i keep waiting for change but it keeps loading and i never get my results. what im trying to flowify is a parametric facade and as seen in the image added there are many holes and odd shapes.

i have used cleanup3 but it has helped.
i hope i can get an answer.

So maybe we can try to take a closer look at the problem?

Would there be a possible workaround on SketchUp ? Using texture would be obvious when it comes rendering and final finish, it wouldn't look realistic or prety

You are asking alot of SketchUp to deform that type of mesh. A large planar face with many holes that have a high poly count means you have no surface topology to deform.

Better suited to a NURBs app like Rhino, MoI or Plasticity.

Did you try FredoBend?
