#### 2.1.8.3. Draping

If the Draping option is activated, all plies derived from this Oriented Selection Set will use this draping data. If the Draping option is also activated in the Modeling Ply definition, the draping data of this OSS is overwritten. For more information about draping, see Draping and Draping Simulation.

Figure : Draping

The following parameters control the Internal Draping of the OSS:

- Draping Material: Sets the draping material.

- Seed Point: Starting point of the draping process.

- Draping Direction: Sets the primary draping direction for the draping scheme. The secondary direction is always orthogonal to the primary.

  - Auto Draping Direction: Uses the fiber direction of the production ply.

- Mesh Size: Defines the draping mesh size. If this mesh size is defined as negative, ACP uses the default mesh size.
