sheetset misery - anyone else hate managing these things?

I'm working on a program to resolve all the headaches I have with Sheet Set Manager, just curious what other people would like it to do or things they've noticed to be a pain.
Currently this is what I have:
SHEETSORT — bulk renumber and rename sheets with prefix/start/increment/skip options, per-subset prefixes, pad numbers (1→01), edit titles inline, CSV export/import for bulk editing in Excel, and optionally rename the layout tabs in the DWGs to match the sheet number

PAGESETUPAPPLY — pick a named page setup from any DWG and blast it across every sheet in your set in one click

Tired of the DEM import gymnastics — built a free plugin that pulls USGS elevation into Civil 3D with one screen pick - Currently USA only

I work in civil engineering and got tired of the gymnastics involved in getting USGS 3DEP elevation data into Civil 3D — downloading DEMs, converting coordinates, importing point files, hoping nothing got misaligned. So I built a plugin that handles all of it in one command.

**What it does:**

- Pick a rectangle on screen

- It reads your Civil 3D coordinate zone automatically

- Fetches the 3DEP elevation data for exactly that area from USGS

- Builds a TinSurface in Prospector — done

Supports NAD83 State Plane (feet and meters), UTM, and WGS84. Handles the meters-to-feet conversion automatically. Grid is roughly 500×500 points at 16–20 ft spacing.

No license key, no account, completely free. I built this for myself and figured other people probably have the same headache.

I'm looking for feedback from people who actually use Civil 3D daily — does this fit your workflow, what's broken, what's missing?

Download and info at civiliq.net

Happy to answer any questions about how it works under the hood. Thank you

If this kind of post isn't allowed here, mods please remove and I apologize — just trying to get feedback from people who actually use these tools.
