Sorry. Edit.

The most convenient thing in Softimage is the Transformations options:

http://download.autodesk.com/global/docs/softimage2014/en_us/userguide/index.html?url=files/xfo_transforms.htm,topicNumber=d30e47900

That´s the basis for the below top 5 to be so convenient:



1) Unfold op and the Regularize tool (especially in 2014sp2,
since the Regularize tool doesn´t stop at shell borders)

2) Everything that´s part of the "M" shortcut/workflow
(Sliding edges/points/faces, etc). Adding eges. Splitting edges. Loops.

3) The render region. The render region. The render region.

4) The operator stack. An envelope can swims atop massive
changes to a topology and still interpolates existing wheights
nicely. Great for testing and working out shape/topology on
a mesh - you´re not restricted to being stuck in the bindpose.
Also helps prepping a mesh copy for painting/sculpting.

5) Copy&Paste UVs. Bake to another UV set. Gator/Rendermap.


Cheers,
