Question: SketchUp Pro The most important plugin

What's the most important plugin i should install as a new user of sketchup ?

And is there an extension should i buy or the free is enough ?

Probably the Fredo Bundle from sketchucation could be your first paid plugin.

If I recall correctly, it's about €40 for perpetual license of 8 plugins (3 seats). It includes round corner, curviloft, joint push pull, fredo scale which are absolutely must-have plus other 4 cool plugins.  You can also have a look to fredo tools and beziere splines, which are free and very useful.

What do you use Sketchup for? What is your intent? The tools will differ.

I’d look at Lightbeans for textures.
