Fast LauncherAuthor: Stephan Woermann
A plugin from around 2013 This plugin lets you start any document or program from inside Softimage. It has a simple configuration file in which you can simple add/remove the menu entries. The Plugin will run on Softimage 2012 x64 and above.

For details see Fast Launcher for Softimage and Fast Launcher for Softimage: The next step.
Basic Measure ToolAuthor: Stephan Woermann
The Basic Measure Tool measures the length of a line segment or a series of line segments. In an alternative mode (middle mouse button to toggle), it measures the angle between two lines. This is a custom tool working fully interactively with snapping to points/grids/etc. and without changing the scene.

it also does this cool thing where your measurement is copied to the clipboard for pasting. i have been meaning to do more with it, especially a protractor tool like zoltan has done. but i just haven't had time, but its open source and free for other to extend.

source code...
