What is Sketchy FFD?

Sketchy FFD (Free-Form Deformation) is a Ruby script plugin developed by C. B. Atkinson (often credited to the SketchUp community user "TIG"). It allows users to create a 3D grid of control points (a lattice) around a group or component, then move those points to smoothly deform the geometry inside.

Apply the FFD Cage: Right-click the group, select FFD, and choose your grid size (e.g., 3x3x3 or a custom NxN). Draw a rectangle: 48" x 24"

For years, SketchUp has been the go-to tool for architects, woodworkers, and interior designers because of its precision, speed, and intuitive "push-pull" logic. However, users have traditionally hit a "glass ceiling" when trying to create organic, curved, or blob-like forms. Enter the Sketchy FFD plugin—a lightweight, free tool that brings powerful lattice-based deformation to SketchUp.

At its core, Sketchy FFD is a deformation tool that adds an invisible control grid around a group of geometry. By moving the control points on this grid, you "pull" the underlying mesh along with them, allowing for smooth, organic bending and twisting.
