I know this may be an odd ask and we’re probably the outlier here, but having improved measurement tools would be very helpful - particularly a way to get a circumferential measurement around a model. We use Nomad to modify and build prostheses since it does a great job at blending organic modeling tools with imported parametric models. Being able to easily measure lengths (along an axis) and around a plane cut of the model would allow us to verify and compare measurements of the limb. I know this would make the program even more attractive and useful in the prosthetics industry.  
The new vertex snapping and surface measurement tools are very helpful and are already a significant improvement!
