Hello everyone!

I'm modelling a new family to create a curtain (textile) with an hanging structure directly fixed on the wall. I started from the preset Metric Generic Model Wall Based, creating the steel element. Now I realized that's not possible to make surfaces with this metric generic model wall based, but only solids.

So, any suggestion about how could I create the gathered textile of my curtain?

Thanks

To make surfaces you just need to make your solid geometry thin. All built things (textiles included) have a thickness which you can adjust in the family.
