Thank you for this inspirational message! I got to get mpshysics back to life!

Version 1.8.0 released.

• Fix adaptive grid not working properly for some models on Mac OS X
• Show toolbar properly on Mac OS X. Thanks @FlawinneF and @TIG

Hi all, the plugin is now updated to work with the latest version of SU2023 and SU2024. Please note that the features in SU2023 and later are limited because SketchUp changed to a new, Qt-based framework, and I have not found a way to hack it.

@FlawinneF Thanks for that tip. I never knew about the get_last_state or restore. Will utilize in next release

Hi all, the ClothWorks is now updated for SU2024. Thank you for your patience!

Hello everyone! This should work with SU2023. The incomplete UI is because SU2023 has undergone a major internal framework change and I no longer have the capability to manipulate some of the elements. Things like full-screen, should still work though. Let me know if otherwise.

Hi,

The arrows are only available if you activate your license file.

To purchase and activate a lisense, see here: https://antonsynytsia.github.io/manuals/ClothWorks/license_manual_v174.pdf

Thanks,

Hello!since it really messes up the mesh.

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.
[attachment=2:14cvwrh9]<!-- ia2 -->Screenshot - 2_15_2023 , 2_05_41 PM.png<!-- ia2 -->[/attachment:14cvwrh9]

I found a way to solve my problem.
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.

Yeah with this white I can illuminate the room at night without turning the light on. Good for bills

You should tell that to Sketchup lol. They could definitely win a lot more users if they go green energy

Too bad We'll soon celebrate 25 years with this pesky white.

Well you gotta appreciate the light and bright sometimes

Anton could your tool apply dark theme to SU's UI elements? I'm so tired of this white\light grey
Thank you

Sorry. Don't want to waste my time on this. This is something SketchUp should do on their end.

Why am I getting this error in ruby console?

It's a console log. Forgot to remove. Not an error.

@tutorialsup said:

Hey. How do you zoom in/out with 4th and 5th buttons? What are these buttons you are referring to? For me, I can only zoom with the mouse wheel.

Anton thank you so much for your response, Actually, with the help of X-Mouse Button Control software or Logitech software, I can use these buttons as a wheel up and down. Right now it's helping but speed is a bit fast. and there is no any way to control the speed.
Thanks again

I tried out the X-Mouse Button Control tool. At the moment the only way you can decrease the zoom speed is by decreasing the Duration to 50ms. See attached image. Go to (Extebsion)>SmoothZoom>Options

The downside of changing the Duration to 50ms is that the normal mouse wheel will no longer be as smooth.

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.

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,
Anton

Neil, Let me know if the issue comes back. Thanks, Anton

Guys, thanks for the offered help! I'm currently away on vacation and will try your suggestions once more once I'm back. Anton, I was already on Windows 11 and did the official service update. And I already have tried the clean uninstallation / re-installation, which leads to clothworks working as it should - until I close Sketchup and reopen it, then it starts crashing.

Dave, I don't get a bug splat window, it just closes immediately. I am running a legit Sketchup and clothworks license. If it was a windows / graphic driver related issue, I doubt I could get it to work after a fresh reinstall. I've got a RTX 3090.

Thanks so far for your help, I'll keep you posted!
cheers

Thanks for the detailed feedback. I haven't personally tested ClothWorks on Windows 11. It's interesting that it only works on the first try. Suggests this may have to do with copying binaries versus loaded existing-copied binaries.

Hi,

I re-downloaded the model you attached. I noticed the gravity is set to zero. Can you change it to 10? When I change it to 10, the cloth drapes the table properly. See attached picture (I also reduced bending stiffness since it looked to stiff). Also please verify the version of your clothworks. You can go to (Menu) Extensions->ClothWorks->About. It should be 1.7.7a

Let me know.

Thanks,
Anton

Hi Guys. I don't know what has happened, but recently my SketchUp keeps crashing the second I start a cloth simulation. Maybe two seconds in it crashes the latest. I don't know what I have changed to my system, other than doing a windows upgrade recently. Would anyone know what could be causing this or how to solve it`? I'm on the latest sketchup version 2022.

Thanks so much in advance and best regards!

EDIT: I can get it to work very inconveniently like this: I need to make a clean reinstall of the plugin, and while I don't close SketchUp, the plugin will work normally. Once I reopen SketchUp, it keeps on crashing the second I start to simulate... do you think this is a licensing problem?

Hi,

Can you try a fresh install of sketchucationtools and clothworks? Please follow the steps in the installation manual: https://antonsynytsia.github.io/manuals/ClothWorks/installation_manual_v174.pdf

Start from the Uninstallation Steps and then the Installation Steps.

Let me know how it goes after performing these steps. I am not sure if this is ClothWorks or SketchUcationTools

Glad to hear it's resolved! Thanks everyone!
