Extensions
Extensions are packages of tools that can be plugged into SketchUp Pro. Extensions include tool packages for Materials, Renderings, Editing Tools, Tools for curves, splines, and complex 3D shapes, architecture, engineering, and construction objects, tools for 3D printing, and many more! SketchUp Pro was created by Trimble and is not an open source software program. However, the SketchUp team has recognized how powerful user improvements can be, so SketchUp is very supportive of allowing Extensions to be added to SketchUp Pro.
Extension Warehouse
The Extension Warehouse is similar to 3D Warehouse, but the Extension Warehouse allows you to search for Extensions and download them to the local installation of SketchUp Pro. The Extension Warehouse button can be found on the Getting Started Toolbar and Warehouse Toolbar. The Extension Warehouse button is an abstract flat X shape.
