1 - make faces
2 - extrude lines up, extrude lines using 2 points, etc... all them extrude lines commands.
3 - Windowizer (creates a curtainwall)
4 - select all instances - is that a ruby, or built-in... I forget now...
5 - Joint Push Pull (for push-pulling curves)
6 - pushpull face in any direction (using 2 points), and other pushpull face commands... along normal, along Z, etc.
7 - stair generator
8 - SU2KT (SketchUp 2 Kerkythea)
9 - Proper Animation - (great for showing diff. options for furniture, or doors swinging open)
10 - Scene Exporter pro - once get used to having it... can't live without.
11 - Automated 2D Output
12 - Mirror Selection
13 - Deselect Edges (Deselect Faces) - I think these are rubies...
14 - Offset on surface (and tools on surface)
15 - Purge (this should be number 2)
16 - Layers and Materials plugin by Didier Bur
17 - Intersect overlapping lines
18 - Selection Memory
19 - Soap Skin Bubble
