[Therion] Drawing rigging

[Eric Madelaine]

But if I understand correctly, the rope would be a line, so you would 
have to - and be able to - specify it the usual way with control points 
and curves...
The tricky point is for portions where you wish to constraint it to be a 
vertical segment, unaffected by distorsions of the scrap.
