        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?

        Free Form Deform.

            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 😉

                              2 - extrude lines up, extrude lines using 2 points, etc... all them extrude lines commands.
                              3 - Windowizer (creates a curtainwall)
                              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.
                              7 - stair generator
                              8 - SU2KT (SketchUp 2 Kerkythea)
                              9 - Proper Animation - (great for showing diff. options for furniture, or doors swinging open)
                              10 - Scene Exporter pro - once get used to having it... can't live without.
                              11 - Automated 2D Output
                              12 - Mirror Selection
                              13 - Deselect Edges (Deselect Faces) - I think these are rubies...
                              14 - Offset on surface (and tools on surface)
                              15 - Purge (this should be number 2)
