Hi all, I am trying to model this facade for a skyscraper. I have this script that drapes fabric over my volume but it isn’t tight enough to give me the effect of these reference photos. I tried using SubDs but it just messed with the rest of the building and didn’t give me a clean result. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Skyscraper Base Massing.3dm (130.5 KB)
Draped Fabric.gh (12.2 KB)
Here’s an example:
The topic even contains screenshots of the same building…
Which file is that?
I sometimes disable a component so it doesn’t recompute when the file is loaded.
shrinkwrap_building.gh (8.7 MB) I tried enabling all of the disabled components but now the file is frozen. Is there a certain order that things need to be turned off/on?
I don’t see anything disabled in that file.
One thing which might cause trouble is the timer and the SolidPointCollide goal
Hi again, I was able to get the script running without errors but the mesh does not appear to be stretching over my shape and it not changing despite different inputs. Does it appear to be working on your end?
Please share the latest state of your files.

Part of the problem is the size and units of your object which does not correspond to my example.
The mesh needs to be triangulated with an edge length of less than 1 unit, I now just tried with 0.5
Make sure the Global Trigger Lock is off in the beginning of the simulation. You can enable it later to scale the solid back to full size which pushes the edges out. You can also ignore it for now.
I disabled the triremesh after the solver. It is also not needed during the simulation. You can enable it once the solver is deactivated otherwise the whole thing runs slowly…
