and that differs 16 bucks worth from standard move ??
i don't get it.
I use Alt-N shortcut. I press Alt-N, put in exactlyhow far I want to move, press an arrow key (Ctrl-arrow key for up and down), and, bingo.
And it does not have to be a group or component.That's how it's different.

I still don't see how that is different from using the Move tool and the VCB... ?

It's more easy and speedy to click twice on the arrow key (say step is 3.14 cm) than write 6.28cm(6 clicks on the vcb) or move with of a lenght of 6.28cm ! (6 clicks again in the vcb)
And it's more funny to drive your objects like a toy car !

Nudge by Todd Burch (it's on Smustard).
It's $16.00, but worth every penny (It was $8.00 when I bought it back in 2006
). It's old, but, for me, very useful every day.I tried "moveit", but it only works on groups and components (at least when I tried it).
Have you tried my jsMoveTool? It works with any selected item.
http://www.pixero.com/downloads_sketchup.htmlUsage:
- Select a object or group of objects.
- Select the JS MoveTool and enter a distance in the VCB. Press Return/Enter.
- Now move with arrow keys.
- Use Alt + Up/Down to move in Z axis.
- You can enter a new distance at any time.
- Press Ctrl (Apple Key on Mac) for distance * 0.1
- Press Shift for distance * 10
And it's free...

And it's free...I've used Nudge for four years and wasn't looking for a replacement. If I didn't already have it I'd be downloading jsMoveTool right now (as I said previously, jsAlign is another of my major everyday tools).

Wouldn't be nice to add a poll to the topic and the people to vote their plugins? I realize it would be a pretty long list), but we could see in this case which are the most used/appreciated/useful.

Entirely dependant on use/profession I suppose. I see no use in roof plugins as I don't need it. But an architect might say the same for the gears plugin.
For me plugins increase the speed at which I work. But there are some that just work miracles, SDS and FFD for example. I do think the community would benefit from a complete and interactive ruby index that makes sense of what is actually available. And more importantly how to donate.

You'd have to list every plugin in the poll. Hundreds...
