+===== Notes on rope with Cylinder, Armature, and Spline which is hooked =====
+Cylinder - Main Rope
+  * Modifier -  Main Rope Armature
+  * Subsurf - Viewport=1, Render=2
+  * Parent is Main Rope Armature
+  * Has Vertex Groups, probably created by the Hook creation menu
+Armature - Main Rope Armature
+  * Not parented
+  * Deform Envelope Distance: 0.208', Envelope Weight: 1.0
+  * In Pose Mode, select tip,
+    * Bone Constraint:
+      * Spline IK,
+      * Target Main Rope Curve,
+      * Influence 1
+      * Fitting, Chain Length 40
+      * Chain Scaling
+        * Use Curve Radius (checked)
+Curve - Main Rope Curve
+  * Not parented
+  * Modifier (Hooks, most connect to Empty Objects
+    * Falloff
+      * Type: Smooth
+      * Radius 0
+To prevent resizing of armature bones from sliding along curve, on the bone constraint, where we select Spline IK, under Chain Scaling, select Y Scale Mode=None, and XZ Scale Mode=None. (Use Curve Radius is checked, but this might not be important.)
