Have poser 2012 pro.

I'm looking for a way to have a model hold a rope, and have that rope drag across objects, floor etc, changing shape as it is dragged, so that it would conform to steps if the model went down the steps, or if they ran the rope would trail off from them not touching the ground if fast enough.

I thought dynamic hair or maybe some way to clothify an object, but I'm ignorant about hair and cloth.

Is this even possible or must it be done manually manipulating a rope prop?  I'd like the machine to do it for me as the action is pretty intense.

Am I thinking of this all wrong?

Thank you.
