      Thank you for your answer TIG.

      Ok, after I set that parameter of, now I can see the cylinder.

      But moving the dots with the scale tool still has no effect on the part.
      I'm doing exactly what I found in that tutorial video, except I work on a simple cylinder.

          The object has to be a group. Not loose geometry, not a component.

            I found my problem using another tutorial video from Youtube.
            What wasn't explained in the video I used is that the model has to be subdivided. In the video, the object is already subdivided many times.
            In my case, I just had to select N x N FFD, add my grid size and select subdivide!

              Hi!

              FFD generally works fine with me but in certain cases I get strange results of transformation. Could someone, please, take a look at my model and tell me if there's something wrong with my geometry. It's just a mesh, nothing special.
              I moved a vertical row of 3 control points (selected yellow and yellow arrow on screenshot) but geometry went to the opposite side (white arrow).

                Same result that your but if draw vertical lines for "close" the sides
                that works as that must be πŸ˜„
                So maybe FFD don't love open surfaces ? πŸ˜„

                  In fact your first object is not "clean" ! πŸ€“
                  (lines coplanar, faces multiple etc...)
                  Use CleanUp by Thomthom and all will be fine! πŸ˜„

                          Please give details of your SketchUp version, OS etc.

                          Also please explain the steps you are trying to use with this tool...
                          Double-check you are following the guidance given in the early posts...
                          Also run it with the Ruby Console open and report any error messages...

                          Remember that this tool is now five years without any support or updates...

                              As far as I know, if you install the current RBZ from the PluginStore it should work in v2018.
                              You must carefully follow the usage steps.
                              Your Extension Manager Loading Policy must be set to 'Unrestricted' to allow older [unsigned] extensions to load and run...

                                  set your load policy to unrestricted, will load fine then

                                  the extension will work the same whether it is signed or not, it is purely a mechanism to give the end-user some control over extension running on their system, in the end you (as in yourself) must make sure the extensions (and their sources) are trustworthy

                                  Save the Earth, it's the only planet with chocolate.

                                    Hi!

                                    I have a problem with this plugin. I'm trying to match an FFD "box" to my group, which local axes are different from global axes of the model. I mean, they are rotated. I created an FFD group and it doesn't match my target group's axes. How can I match FFD group to local axes or my group? Instead, it matches the global axes. I could just reset rotation of my group, I know. But I don't want to do this.

                                    Even if I change my model's global axes, FFD box orientation won't change. It will stick to initial orientation.

                                          This plugin can not work (error load) in sketchup 2019. How I could install this plugin correctly?

                                            This is an old script.
                                            Somethings have changed in v2019...
                                            Please try running it [following the earlier guidance] with the Ruby Console open and post any error messages you might get...
                                            If it's a simple issue perhaps we can fix it...
