Don't think you can do a perfect rope cuz the "follow me" tool would make something like flex duct pipe instead of braiding. I did a chain once for a drawbridge but it nearly killed me :) Just make a pipe and leave it for Kerkythea to put a skin on.

I'm wondering if, in the sketch styles, a single arc might look enough like a rope to qualify?
I've got an idea in my head, gonna try it tomorrow since it's gettin bed time.
Here's what I came up with for rope, and I'm pleased enough with it...I'm trying to get into the "approximate is good enough" P.O.V. that sketchup seems to require :D
And there's also an image of where the "farm" is now.
My idea didn't quite work but I did find a rope model in the user groups:

I think I'm done this little project, at least as far as I want to take it.
I'm also attaching the .skp file I saved it all in. Feel free to use it yourselves for any purpose at all. If you do use it, I'd appreciate knowing where, but that's not obligatory!

oh, there's a well, floating off-screen, for your use also. And obviously I missed deleting a line just behidn the house. But I'm ok with that :D
