There really should be something like a wiki to organize and show examples for ALL the plugins living here.

Ok...as I go deeper into this rabbit hole called SketchUcation as a new user, I am pleasantly surprised by the capabilities of Sketchup thanks in most part by the contributions of the community. Stumbling on the visual and this thread concerning plugins is making my head feel like it's about to explode. I sit here at my monitor feeling almost frozen to choose my first plugin to play with but I will get over it very soon after I finish typing this post of gratitude to all who contribute to this.

To SketchUcation and all plugin contributors....THANK YOU!

Hi, Mistro:
May I suggest for appetizers--that is, if you have not already selected them-- Weld.rb and Mirror.rb, which I think many here will agree are two basic, but essential tools to help save steps.

I think I may try to make one. am I allowed? I'm going to make one for Curviloft.
Oh, and tip: if you didn't buy the fancy apps some of the others use, here are some free alternatives:
VirtualDub.
if your recorder can't save as GIF, you can use VirtualDub to do that (make sure you set the framerate correctly (like 10FPS) else the GIF will be extremely large. It also helps to Save it with an mpeg codec before exporting)
CamStudio.
A free Video recorder with autopan, screen record settings, codec settings, and the ability to record and playback at any framerate

Yup, you are more than welcome to try and make one. Please do try and makeit in the same fashion as the others, but I'm sure you guessed that already. Good luck!

The visual guide is a superb resource. Is this forum still active? I'd be happy to do one or two for my own favorite "must have" plugins.

I'm gonna go the shameless self-promotion route and advocate for this plugin that warns you when you are editing multiple components - Dan Rathburn wrote it for me: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323%26amp;t=54082
