I am trying to show some curtains in a wireframe model (built in ACAD 2004) Are there any good alternatives to using a couple of spines? Trying to create a wire mesh looks awful in wireframe!
You could consider doing a Pline ,make an offset of it, connect the two ends of the now two paralell lines and make an Extrude so you make a Solid instead of a mesh.
What's the output? Wireframe or hidden line? If it is hidden line, try two rows of cones, offset horizontally and flipped vertically - checking "show silhouettes in wireframe" will get rid of the radial lines (if desired).

thanks! 9i hadn't thought of using cones. makes sense, though!
