      Draw on surfaces it's a huge time saver and makes possible editing surfaces easier in conjuncture with joint push pull ....in fact those plugins i use most often

        Id probably have to go with:
        Joint push/pull
        Tools on surface
        Whaats subsmooth plugin
        Centrepoint script

        The first 2 greatly speed up tihngs that were already possible in SU, and are as easy to use as any native SU tool, just how it should be. SUbsmoth adds an entirely new level of funcion to SU, so you cant go to wrong with that. And finally the centrepoint script does what SU should do, but doesnt, for whatever reason.

          There are so many great ruby's available, however there are a few I use daily and others that I use specifically. I will say that 'Purge all' is my most used ruby for my day to day works and 'subsmooth', 'JPP', 'Surface tools' and 'FFD' used for all my freeform work (organics)

            I probably use mirror selection more than anything.

            Set center point

                        I use very much 45ºShadows plugin for elevations, it's very fast and you don't have to move shadows and sun for each view 😉
