Sailcloth roof

KeesW — Tue, 09 May 2023 13:04:47 GMT

I am designing a carport with a sail cloth roof. I've created the shape using the terrain tool but the sagged nature of the placed material is very angular, rather than catenary curvy. Any suggestions?

Here is a link to a post that has a 'tentmaker' object - basically a shade sail.

This is a very old object but I think it is the one I still have in my library.

Hopefully it can help.

using a morph or shell tool would also be able to this sailcloth right?
