Sketching not Modeling

I am totally new to SketchUp, but after a lot of videos and learning I realize that SU not for modeling unless you add plugins and extensions like Fredo6 , am I right?

No! Not at all.

Plugins/extensions do not do anything you could not do with bare bones SketchUp. They just automate processes that would often be extremely tedious and require a lot of expertise to do by hand.

You cannot use plugins in the web version. Learn to model with the core tools. Then as you find yourself doing advanced modeling you can switch to a pro subscription and use plugins.

But good technique and an understanding of the base tools is important to good models - whether you use plugins or not.
