      I've been teaching myself to use Sketchup and using Ruby plugins including all the ones in the visual guide here on this forum.

      I haven't had any trouble as of yet. The problem I'm having is that Soap Skin will always create a "Flat" skin of my current wire frame and then I can't adjust anything.

      So I'm wondering is this normal? How am i supposed to adjust the skin ratio to make it go back to matching my wire model?

      The project I'm working on is making some artificial snow on top of a building ledge, so it has to sort of look like clouds.
      Thanks for any help you can provide on this topic.

          I still can't get it to work. These tutorials are not easy to understand for a native English user.
          Thanks anyways.

          Maybe someone else can explain it better.

            With the new version:
            1)Select the wire frame;
            2)Press the "Skin" button and you must have a flat subdivided surface (there you can also change the number of subdivisions by typing a value and pressing enter);
            3)Press "enter" and the mesh will adapt to the 3d wire frame.
            Then you can select the created group and apply different pressions with the "X/Y" and "Bub" buttons just by typing values and pressing enter.

              Thank you, I got it working now.

              Could you also recommend any more tools similar to this but more interactive for push/pull the mesh
              Thank you.

                Anyway if you want something more "interactive" maybe you can combine Soap&skin (or Ferrari) and SketchyFFD.
