ClothWorks brings true cloth simulation into SketchUp, letting you drape fabric over furniture, beds, and surfaces with natural folds, tension, and weight instead of flat, static geometry.

The plugin is built for designers and 3D artists who need believable textiles without leaving their modeling workflow. Lay cloth over a sofa for a loose throw, simulate bedding settling onto a mattress, drape curtains with real fold patterns, or wrap fabric around irregular shapes like cushions and upholstered frames. The simulation reacts to the surface underneath, so the same cloth behaves differently on a sharp edged table versus a rounded armchair.

Materials stay editable after simulation, so you can adjust color, texture, and thickness without rerunning the whole drape. This keeps iteration fast when a client wants a different fabric or a new color variant for the same scene.

As one of the more specialized sketchup extensions on SketchShaper, ClothWorks pairs naturally with the furniture and interior models already on the site. Simulate a throw blanket over one of our sofa models, or drape curtains against a window in a room scene, then move straight to rendering once the cloth settles into place.
