I believe you actually need the skin modifier selected in the modifier panel :S

Hi CyHiSo.

SkinOps have some limitations and can be used only on certain conditions:

. The object must be selected.
. The skin should be the active modifier and visible.

Here a function that can help you, I use it all the time.

Function PrepareMaxForSkinOps _pNode =
(
-- Select @_pNode if needed.
if not _pNode.IsSelected do
(
Select _pNode
)

-- Unfreeze @_pNode if needed.
if _pNode.IsFrozen do
(
Unfreeze _pNode DoLayer:true
)

-- Set Modify Panel active if needed.
if GetCommandPanelTaskMode() != #modify do
(
SetCommandPanelTaskMode mode:modify
)

-- Set @_pNode skin modifier as current object in modpanel if needed.
if ModPanel.GetCurrentObject() != _pNode.skin do
(
ModPanel.SetCurrentObject _pNode.skin
)
)
