Now you've 2 groups. The cylinder and the points.

Edit the points group the manipulate the cylinder group. The points can be moved individually or in multiples. Pick a row and move them. The mesh should update when the move is committed.

Just practice

Thanks for the help. I'm starting to make it look like the image.
It's going to take practice you're right. This is cool!

Have you read the description in the first post?

Make your cylinder a group. Right click and choose N x N. Input values for height, depth and width. These will be the points that weight your cylinder.

Edit the point group and adjust points accordingly.

It's best if you attempt to do this then ask when things become difficult.

Ok I've completed your steps up to "edit point group"

I'm not quite sure how, could you explain it? Thanks for the patience.

FFD won't allow you to create a N x N cage if it's raw geometry or a component

So how do you create the cage? I am just starting at Sketchup.
I've been using it for 1-2 months now.

Here is what I'm trying to make.
The snow cap on top of this window.

I already made a cylinder. Radial bended it around the top. Now i need to deform it like snow

How do you suggest I do this. Thank you.

I can't get this plugin to work and I need to use it desperately for some artificial snow I'm making for a building roof top.

I put it into plugins folder and then I tried tools but no luck.

An Install guide would be helpful.
Thank you

Install by putting the script in your plugins directory.

As it says on the first post

Edit, I see it's on right click menu FFD now but I only have 3 commands?
Lock, unlock and make patch. None of them seem to do anything?

Could someone direct me to a guide to using this plugin. Thank you.

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.

Does this more clear ?

Take a look also to Ferrari plug

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.

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.
