Using extensions
As a general rule, using a well-designed extension should be like using SketchUp itself. Extension developers are presented with tools to make the UI and workflow as close to SketchUp as possible. There are a handful of extensions that I use that I have completely forgotten are not core functionality because they are so well designed!
In this section, we will run through a few examples of how you might use extensions through the SketchUp UI.
