When creating interior views you often want to place the cameras as close to the wall as possible to show as much of the room as possible, but without accidentally zoom out through the wall. This plugin places the camera 1 cm away from whatever is straight behind it when the plugin is activated. The distance can also be adjusted from the plugin's menu.

In SketchUp native Follow me keeps the sides of the extrusion straight, at the cost of not keeping the extrusion upright. This extension twists the sides to assure the extrusion is upright.
This can be useful on everything from railings to roads.
Use this extension to find out if a component added to the model (imported/dragged from file) was created in the future. If you do not have an actual component from the future available you may change your system clock to try out the extension before using it in production.
In case you don't have sound enabled on your system the extension also prints
Quickly align textures on multiple faces, rotate 90 degrees, rotate custom angle or randomly shift around texture to remove patterns.

Adds volume to a terrain by adding an arbitrary depth making it a solid. Useful to determine the volume difference before and after excavation so you know how much earth needs to be moved to and away from the site
Run this script and then make a copy of the terrain before you start modifying it and you will be able to compare the two volumes shown in Entity Info.
Solid tools designed to feel more native to SketchUp than the native solid tools.
These tools modify components in place, the way components are supposed to work in SketchUp. To opt out, first make the component unique. The material inheritance is also honored. If you trim a wooden group by a
