I think the main plugin is your brain.
All other things being just a tool that helps you. Besides the main Sketchup tools (Line, Arc, Intersect ...), I use a this plugins. They are the best for such a task.

Does the flag Blue, White, Red under your avatar is the French one
or it's other thing?

So it was a french motive of my solidarity. If seriously, what happening in other parts of the world (you know what I mean), my heart hurts is also.

Seems it's can be used for tortured furnitures!

And thanks for posting some screen shots from your workflow. I just got Artisan re-installed and this is great information on how to make the first forms!

You're a certified master for upholstered furniture Alvis. Do you prefer working in non quads over quads?.. do you see advantage of one over the other?

alvis

Thanks for comments.
I can not to say that one or the other method is better. Both modeling techniques complement each other. It does not give preference to anyone. I just started earlier use Artisan Plugin.
