          I suppose profilebuilder 2 should be added to this list?

              Visualizer $20.00 FREE
              https://getvisualizer.com/

              Shouldn't 1001bit also be mentioned under the roof section?

                For the architecture plugins that cover other areas I just leave them. They each do too much to list. I'll make the change for Visualizer.

                        OK, the list is already pretty big.

                        Can I then drop this idea: we'll continue to build it but perhaps it's also time to hear some users' experiences. Comparing similar plugins, their work-efficiency, cost-efficiency, known issues...

                            Is anyone aware of a plugin that draws dashed lines in any direction? For purposed of drawing door/window swing direction on door surfaces. Tried TIG's 2D tools but appears I can't draw at an angle...

                              Yes you can. Draw the edges first. The line style applies the styled line along an edge.

                                sketchup has a back edges which are hidden or dashed lines... If I recall there are a few hidden line dashed line plugins, but I never found it useful... I just wait and do line types in Layout.

                                    trusses:

                                    Medeek Truss (Nathaniel P. Wilkerson), $20, http://design.medeek.com/resources/medeektrussplugin.html

                                    Truss tool (Tomot), $5, http://thingsvirtual.blogspot.ca/p/truss-tool_1452.html

                                    Between the above two I can recommend Medeek's product hands down as I have both, Tomot's truss tool could do with improvement, there really is no comparison between the two...

                                        Blender isn't a plugin but Blendup is. It's perfect at exporting Sketchup to Blender with materials and cameras.

                                        It's scope should probably be in exporters but it's almost a render plugin as you can export and simply hit render and cycles will render a very good image.

                                        sketchup2blender.com

                                        It's also very well priced 70$ final price but current price is 35$ at beta stage.

                                        PS: Of course regarding blender as a renderer alone is like saying a city is meant for cars to drive around...

                                          Wow this list is huge, but a great resource and summary of what's available out there. I might add that for developers its also a great resource, you can get a feel for what others have done and how to improve your own plugin. Thank-you for keeping this list up-to-date.

                                            LSS Arch LIte - plugin [$] $25

                                            This is a lite version of the full LSS Arch plugin [$]

                                            Overview
                                            This extension is a simplified version of LSS Arch and it allows to draw and edit
                                            only basic building elements, such as walls, columns, slabs etc.

                                            Could be useful for small to medium scale projects.
                                            Anyone have experience with this plugin?
