Sketch-up for woodworking has gotten quite a bit of press lately both
here and elsewhere. However, much of this info is scattered across
multiple sources and threads.
As a newbie to Sketch-up, I thought it might be helpful to start a
thread where we could all collect and discuss our favorite Sketch-up
plug-ins and tutorials.
PLUG-INS:
To start off, Cutlist 4.1.1 seems like a must-have though I have yet to
play with it. It is discussed here for example:

I would be interested in other useful plug-ins including ones that:
1. Introduce added functionality, tools, shortcust helpful for
woodworkers and designers
2. Provide templates for commonly uses parts and shapes
TUTORIALS:
Regarding tutorials, I found the whole series of Sketchup For
Woodworkers by Rob Cameron to be very helpful for beginners.
Fine HomeBuilding recommends intro tutorials by Adrian Chopra - and
there seems to be some free content on YouTube
I would be interested also in more advanced tutorials highlighting
different tips, techniques, and shortcuts along with more advanced usage
that might be non-obvious.
