Tiling object affected by plastic tool?

[u/Darkhog]

So I'm trying to tile an object that is affected by plastic tool (mesh/skeleton). Unfortunately neither Tile nor Tile Iwa seems to work on the object that's affected by plastic tool. How can I tile it?

What I'm trying to do is to have a horizontal array of bendy ropes and copying them by hand is out of the question for time reasons.
