The Soft Goods tool creates pipe-and-drape assemblies typically used in event planning, such as when creating temporary booths in a convention center. To draw a pipe-and-drape assembly, either use the Soft Goods tool, or create a polyline and then select the Create Objects from Shapes command (see Creëer objecten op basis van vormen).

To display hanging points for soft goods objects, enable Hanging Point Classes in the Braceworks preferences (see Braceworks preferences).
