Cloth To Mesh

[brucek5]

I just upgraded to Maya 2008. I swear I used to be able to convert a cloth to a mesh/polygon before. Example: Using the animated a table cloth falling on a table. Once it's position is the way I want, convert it to a mesh so I can use it in a still-frame model.

Does anyone know if this is an after-market plug-in maybe?

A simple way is to just duplicate the output cloth mesh. The cloth output is already a mesh, just one with upstream construction history, not unlike a deformer, although delete history does not currently delete the cloth inputs.
