What Are Extensions?
When you talk about broadening your capabilities as a SketchUp modeler, using extensions must be a part of the plan. Extensions are little “mini-apps” that can be added to SketchUp to expand what you can model, how you model it, and what you can do with the model you create! Extensions extend the capabilities of SketchUp and are key to any 3D modeler’s journey to level up!
When we dive into the world of extensions, there is a lot to talk about. In fact, we will be touching on extensions for the next few chapters. In this chapter, we will take a look at what exactly extensions are and how they work with SketchUp. Specifically, we will be discussing the following topics:
- Learning the basics of extensions
- Installing extensions
