Great script that allows you to instantly align objects to the surface below. A common example would be scattering people / trees / entourage around a sloping site. With this script, just select your objects, click drop and they instantly fall to the surface below. Easy as can be!

Go-2-School

School is a great resource for learning SketchUp. Try their podcasts covering tips, tricks, and applications for a variety of professions, or check out their interactive DVD, SketchUp Level One. The DVD covers the basics, but that should not deter self proclaimed SketchUp masters because School provides a 100% guarantee that the DVD will teach even the experienced user some new tricks. School is the place to go to connect with other interested users, discuss SketchUp related topics, and post questions. If you post a question in the School forums, then you might wind up being the topic of one of their weekly podcasts.

Grow

It takes a selection and copies it in XYZ a desired number of times, applying spacing, rotation and scaling. It makes some weird 'growths', but I can also see its use in making helical steps etc...

Usage : Move/Place Objects, Select them and pick Grow.
Pick Point, Enter desired data in dialogs and see results. Undo is 1 go.

List of changes

I'll fill this out in the coming days as the update goes live

- Embedded Media Field for adding links to video tutorials / examples. There are many instances where showing usage via a youtube clip would really help out. There is now a field when submitting scripts, plugins & tutorials that lets you paste in the link to a video (any type) and it'll create a player window for that video.
