Rendering rope

[HStone]

I am designing a play structure that uses rope. How do I create a rope shape that bends or sags. i assume that i will work with the cylinder, but don't know how to show it curved.

Draw an arc, convert it to a 3D Molding Polyline, then assign a molding shape and texture.

 

 

 

EDIT:

You can achieve a smoother curve by converting the arc to a polyline before converting it to a 3D Molding Polyline:

Got it!

Where did you find the texture you used in your sample?

Thanks
