welcome to SM creative_essential...

well after doing what mtmckinley said you right click the lattice and then you select points and then you move the point using the move tool.. (select and press the move tool hotkey [w])..
just a small quick tip...i guess you figured that out anyway..

Lattices in Maya is not renderable.. you have to model the above in Maya.

a few cylinders, and a few spheres should do the trick.

I'm not sure, but maybe a MEL script exists to quickly make that kind of shapes. Shouldn't be too hard I believe.
http://www.highend3d.com has a lot of scripts

Actually, a mel does exist for this:)

It is called: Sticks and Balls, and can be found in the Goomoo Utilities mel script package on Highend:)

Good luck!

hope s alive :)
