There are hundreds of extensions - tools and features - integrated directly into SketchUp Pro. These extensions improve workflow by reducing time-consuming, complex or repetitive processes.
The SketchUp plugins add special functionalities to this simple-to-use design software such as photorealistic rendering, takes-offs and reporting, custom parametric modelling, animation, and advanced drawing tools.
With this in mind, I thought I would list my recommendation of the very basic SketchUp extensions which I’m sure your conceptual design modelling teams and users will find useful.
Here is number one.
Weld - Joins connected edges and broken lines into one continuous polyline
Weld allows you to join multiple connected edges, curves, and/or arcs (by "connected" we mean having common endpoints) into a single "polyline".
The Weld SketchUp extension can be used by the following industries: Architecture, Construction, Education, Engineering, Film & Stage, Gaming, Heavy Civil, Interior Design, Kitchen & Bath, Landscape Architecture, Urban Planning, Woodworking.
This SketchUp plugin is completely free.

The Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Owner Operator (AECO) sectors are under growing pressure to improve collaboration, reduce project risk, and manage data more intelligently across the entire asset lifecycle. This blog looks at how Symetri and Autodesk can help you move your design and construction data to the cloud.
As Autodesk gradually shifts its focus from Autodesk BIM 360 to the more unified and scalable Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC), many AEC organisations are navigating the complex process of migrating active and archived projects. While ACC offers enhanced collaboration, improved workflows, and long-term scalability, the path to get there isn’t always straightforward. In this post, we will explore some key complexities organisations face when migrating data from BIM 360 and ACC and offer insights on how to streamline the process.
In this month’s IT Bulletin, we’re shedding light on the cybersecurity threats that often go unnoticed — but can have serious consequences for businesses of any size.
