For me that can me tough because there’s a lot to like and certainly a lot to use. If I had to choose right now, it would be.

Smart Draw: Drawing best fit arcs around intersections. Not having to stop when you get to an intersection or curve is so satisfying!

Smart Elevate: Contour Mode. It has made elevating linework fast and fun.

Crop Crossing Lines: This is one I’ve gotten so used to, I’m not sure I remember how to build a model without it. :wink:

Honorable mention: Smart Edit: Model Flag Fixer. How quickly can you fix surface flags now? Big fan. It’s amazing.

This one’s pretty straightforward for me.
PDF Manager has been a huge upgrade, making it much easier to georeference and vectorize pages.
Relayer streamlines the process of moving vector data into the correct layers, ensuring efficiency and accuracy.
Smart Edit is particularly valuable, allowing us to stay within a single tool to break, join, extend, add, and remove segments—making edits seamless and

RPS Copy/RPS Paste I use everyday. Very useful command. Makes life so much easier.
RPS Convert To Linestring is an awesome command…use it all the time.
RPS CAD Cleanup is also used daily. Get rid of those blocks and UCS.

At this time in the project

  1. convert linestring - for owners CAD linework
  2. smart join - for contours and owners CAD lines
  3. point detail report - for bridge beam delta

These are the 3 i use on every job.

PDF Manager - Fantastic and a joy to use
CAD cleanup/Convert to linestring - glad you guys added the vertices count back!
Multi-Offset Line - the convenience of creating an off-set/tie-surface with the linework is so nice.

I’d like to use smart elevate more but i dont think the machine i’m using has the horsepower to make it enjoyable to use. Maybe i need to switch to OpenGL or something and try again.
