Hi guys, I was wondering if someone can help me giveing me some ideas about how to model a rope, but not as a prop but as a model for animation...
Thanks.

Welcome to the forum!

There are different solutions depending on what you need to do with the rope. Tell us more!

You may want to take a look at this tutorial on Dynamic Constraints. It covers ropes too.

a lot depends on how we will see this.

A coil of rope with one end being pulled away... hmmm...

Exactly, just that almost at the end a guy will suddenly atach the rope to the stairs of metal to get to the roof, but yes, you have the idea!

Yup... your diving into the deep end... not just of this software but of 3D animation in general, pretty ambitious endeavor, hope you've learned your fundy-mentals.

I've been thinking of doing something like this by making a clothing model, like a scarf or a ribbon, and applying SimCloth to it to simulate the dynamics...then, using a spline from the simulated action to attach the CP's of a rope-or chain... I need to experiment with that approach.
