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...

that's a really good one. WIsh I had it. Soon I'll have some extra cash maybe? No, prolly not.

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.
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.
