tbh I'm not sure but most probably it is the same pc that got upgraded. I don't remember ever installing it on a different device.

Ok, it is now active.The steps I followed:

1. uninstall clothworks
2. manually removed everything in SCF licenses folder
3. reinstaled clothworks and validated license.

The only problem is that two of the 3 seats are taken when I only have one pc. (It's not actually a problem but I fear I'm going to have issues again and the seats will run out...

Yes, that was the first thing I did.

Hello,

I bought clothworks some time ago but at some point I started having a problem with the license. I cannot find who to contact to solve this problem. Does anybody know?
thanks!

Hey guys, I have a problem with the license (you can see in the image)

I don't know who to contact about this

Sometimes, just by articulating the question you find the solution yourself:
I created a small texture 50x50 pixels with a solid colour and now it displays correctly.
But do I have to do this every time I want a solid colour to display correctly in parallel?

Hi all,
I have the following problem:
I have a wall panel with a light beige colour. The problem is that In parallel projection it displays either bleached if I have "shadows from sun" off or completely darkened if I turn it on. (cast shadows are off)
I tried playing with light and dark levels and the time of the year, but since this is a wall facing north it is always in the shadow.
I want to send it to layout but it cannot look like this.
any ideas?
correction: when I say 'shadows from sun' I mean "use sun for shading"

Ok, my bad!
thanks! (and thanks for the reply!)

Do you see it? what I get is a 404 error.

Hi all,

yesterday I made a post about Ghostcomp where in a nutshell I said that it's an amazing plugin, but pointed out that it would be better if it could also work with groups instead of just with components.

today I entered the forum to see if someone had posted an answer about a solution or an alternative but saw that the post was removed.

I'm sure it must have been a glitch as the post was neither offensive nor inappropriate.

I'm always respectful in my posts and I always try to follow community rules in every forum I participate. If by mistake -surely not by intention-my post was inappropriate I would expect some warning or at least a reason for its removal by the admins.

thanks a lot and keep on sketching!!!

Hi guys,

Ghostcomp has become one of the most useful tools in my palette. I think its intention was to lighten the scenes for heavy objects but what I mostly use it for, is aligning non rectangular objects (make that sofa touch the wall/ arrange cushions on a sofa/ take dimensions from tubes etc etc.)

My only problem is that for some reason it only works for components. at times this becomes frustrating and I have found myself many times converting a group into a component just to use ghostcomp.

So, firstly I would want to ask (if anyone is listening) to give it the ability to create ghosts for groups and
secondly, is there in the meanwhile something equivalent that replaces objects with their bounding box?

thanks!

well, if you can, that would be nice
but I was more interested in suggesting such a feature was added to the plugin itself.
(deleting as well as editing)

thanks for the reply,
I'm surprised this is the first time this comes up.
I don't know Gá2bor and I couldn't find his profile, do you have a link?

Hi,
the introduction of bundles was a great improvement in extension store as it gives you the ability to massively reinstall plugins with each new installation.

Only one problem: I haven't found a way to edit or delete a bundle (shouldn't there be such an option right next to install/clone/expand ?) As a result, a few years later I'm left with a bunch of bundles, each differing from the rest by one or two plugins.

Am I missing something? is there a way to

1. delete
2. edit
   a bundle?
   thanks!

probably that's what he meant. So you think that might give a solution? unfortunately I have to wait until it happens again to try it....

Hi all,

I don't know if this has happened to anybody else:
sometimes, and with no apparent reason, the move tool suddenly stops snapping to the axes.
when it happens, it never comes back for the specific file. Once I open a new one it works perfectly

does anybody have any idea?

thanks guys!
s4u looks a lot better as they remain solids. (of course there is this 20 dollar price hm hm...)
any ideas for roof tile plugins?

Hi all,
a question regarding roof tiles:
I work in Greece and a lot of my projects are residences with roman roof tiles. There only plugin that I know is instant roof but it only creates 'extrusions' and not 'real' roof tiles.

My current workflow is to create a 2d array of roof tiles on each of the roof's surfaces and trim it in the edges using solid tools. but it is veeery time consuming. So I have two questions:

1. is there a plugin that can operate multiple boolean subtractions with a single object?
   *I want to subtract a single solid from multiple roof tiles, as in the picture bellow. (currently I copy the solid, perform a subtraction, it vanishes, I paste it in place, perform the next subtraction, it vanishes again and so on...)

2. Is there any smarter solution for good roof tiles?

actually skipping one sleep, 'render night'
opportunity to brush up my Layout skills in the waiting times
P.S. I owe you one mousaka for your help
