                      It deletes construction lines and points? That's a native function...

                        To translate that - SubDivide and Smooth, Joint PushPull, and Tools On Surface.

                        Mine are:
                        Weld
                        Make Faces
                        Repeat Copy

                          But the built-in one is brutal and removes all - some such as this erase all cpoints/clines in the current context only ?

                            My three most commonly used tools:

                            Weld
                            Make Face
                            Mirror
                            ...

                                  This is a good thread, as I was also about to ask the same question- but for ten plugins(!).

                                  Three is a good number, but what still confuses me, and probably others too, who are new to SketchUp is why.

                                  Why do you use these plugins, and what advantages to they give you over the current set of tools, and what is your main objective, taking into account, your chosen subject? For eg, are you an architect? A product designer or just a general modeller? Why are these three so important?

                                  I've started to experiment with Fredo6's Bezierspline plugin, mainly because it is impossible to draw bezier curves by any other way in SketchUp, and bezier curves come in hand for many things, both architectural and product-wise.

                                  I'll probably also add Fredo6's Curviloft plugin too, because the creation of organic surfaces that morph from one shape to another can also have its use, especially when modelling Victorian rendering- such as plaster.

                                  One more only would be very hard to suggest, as many are so brilliant and useful!

                                        Weld: To weld line segments so they behave as single entities for selection purposes and to reduce the need to soften/smooth edges.
                                        CutList: Nearly every project I draw these days is a plan for a piece of furniture or cabinets and my clients require cut lists so they can quote for materials. I could do it manually but Cut List takes only a couple of seconds.
                                        BZ Spline: For drawing non-circular curves.

                                            I dont know if my most used plugins are my favorites but anyway:
                                            Put on layer (I use it ALL the time to keep my file organised.)
                                            Weld (I've edited it so I have it under the right click menu)
                                            Joint pushpull (Could also be Extrude edge by vector)
