I have recently decided to start building on Studio again after 4 years, essentially starting from square one. For those who are experienced in building, I would greatly appreciate your insights. What plugins do you recommend, and do you have any valuable tips to share that could prove to be handy?

Here are my favorite picks for my plugins bar:
stravant's GeomTools Suite - Roblox
Stravant’s plugins (I personally suggest this fan port as it compacts them down).
Local File Importer Plugin - Roblox
Local File Importer to test decals, textures and whatnot during your studio session.
Pick Pro - quick instance selection - Roblox
Pick Pro is focused for UI developers, but it really expands your power of selection through a text-based syntax (Costs 250 R$)Roblox has added a syntax-based explorer filter, though this still has some advantages I advise to only buy it if 250 seems like spare change to you.
Reclass - free, intelligent class conversion - Roblox
Reclass, as the name implies, changes the class of instances as seamlessly as able, useful for converting meshes into wedges, or decals into textures, whatever you could think of really.
PartPicker - Roblox
Part Picker, although only being able to select Parts, Meshes and similars, it does an exclusive search based on matching instance properties, this IS better than the explorer filter, it’s intuitive and doesn’t need typing!
Shipool's Advanced Part Counter - Roblox
You may already have a place part counter, but this one beats the others by tracking many relevant instances that you may be interested in!
Mesh Optimization Tools - Roblox
Mesh optimization helps you severely improve performance without changing the user experience at all! The Decomp tool is especially useful for viewing the collisions and what can be optimized
Avallachi's Asset Preview - Roblox
Asset previewer!! Very cool to get a nice undistracted view of whatever you have selected, it’s a tool other 3D softwares have by default and we don’t.
Part Distributor - Roblox
Replicates parts evenly between your selection however many times you specified (annoyingly it renames them).
I hope this was helpful :^)

The list the guy gave is great.
But there’s better ones. more popular.
- Building tools by f3x. If you memorize the keybinds, you can utilize it efficiently like me. I’m fully fluent and find 30-40% increase in speed.
- gap fill tools - literally click on any edge or face, then click on another edge or face, and it fills it in.
- Archidemes - for making circles of any type in any direction
You should do some research yourself though. See what you like, and what fits you

When using Live Mirror Plugin it could be quite hard and tricky at first. You just need to get use to it and learn how to works by trial and error and then once you know how it works it will be quite easy to use. I suggest Testing the Live Mirror Plugin on test baseplates with random parts instead of trying it out on your main project.
