Well, the other way around I think C3 also lacks some finesse & tools but that's another topic. Generally I don't think there's an easy way to do this - because it would require the software to read your mind for what you wished. So the practical way is to add contour lines which defines the details you want. Mainly would be pleased if it was possible to easily do the things described in this car modeling tutorial: http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?t=156460&page=1&pp=15 Better control/navigation/editing features in general are needed to make such tasks easier in C3 and even C4 (?) Also integrating the vertex modeling into the normal viewports would be nice. But again that's another topic. A good polygon reduction tool in itself is a premier feature. Cheers, Rune
