      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)

      FFD ❓

      which one is that?

              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 😉

                                4 - select all instances - is that a ruby, or built-in... I forget now...
                                5 - Joint Push Pull (for push-pulling curves)
                                6 - pushpull face in any direction (using 2 points), and other pushpull face commands... along normal, along Z, etc.
