Here is that recent drape roof thread:

Drapes

That center column will be a challenge, but you could try lofting 5 wavy hoops - narrow at top, mid and bottom, a bit bigger at intermediate heights.

Actually, you are probably better off with open curves for the column. Rotate at each lift to make it curl around the column.

And the swags on back wall can be bi rail sweep (loft tool):

1st Rail is 3d Locus at mid point of upper edge

2nd Rail is swoopy NURBS curve

Profile is NURBS curve - starts straight at 3d Locus, then wiggles to outer edge

AWESOMENESSNESSNESS!!!

Thanks alot guys

now to get my head around the nurbs curve.

Carl - It is often easier to make 2d curves with the Polyline tool and convert them to NURBS (Modify>Convert>Convert to NURBS. Key shortcut is Cmd N). You may need to adjust the z values or drag/move to get everything lined up and snapped together.

You can do this!
