If you are a professional who builds the same types of trim, railings, frames, or extrusions more than three times a week, this plugin pays for itself in the first hour. It does not just make SketchUp better; it transforms SketchUp into a tool capable of competing with Revit or ArchiCAD for linear architectural detailing.

Native SketchUp treats profiles as dead ends.
Enter (PB2) from Dale Martens. In the world of AEC and woodworking, there is a quiet consensus: This is the plugin that actually makes SketchUp better. Not just faster, but fundamentally smarter.
If you have ever spent six hours manually extruding a curtain wall mullion, or painstakingly followed a complex roof fascia around a dozen dormers, you know the limits of native SketchUp. While SketchUp is lauded for its ease of use, its native tools (Follow Me, Push/Pull, and Offset) become painfully slow when dealing with repetitive, profile-based geometry.
