I'd like to take a moment to confirm; to see which are bugs I am facing on my particular system and which are designed features. The restrictions in making new geometry I understand. Those are a feature. Inconsistent in application but still a feature. The trashing of the UVmap.... is this now standard behavior? What I mean is this; take a cylinder that was mapped flattened, with a single seam. If any work at all is done on the mesh, Carrara re-knits the seam, juggling several vertices on either side of the seam in the process of getting them re-connected. The loss of all named groups of polygons (as used, for instance, in Poser group names) when any named objects are deleted in the Vertex Room? I am having a hard time imagining this is a feature, but has anyone else encountered this bug? The two above are the main reasons I dare not open any of my old models within Carrara5. Selection: it is possible to draw a marquee around a selection in the center of a mesh? The only way I have found to make a selection in the center of a mesh is by painting the selection poly by poly (or line by line et al). Of course Loop and Ring and Expand and so forth do help. But I miss being able to marquee around an area of interest. Is this a bug or a feature? Add to that, is it possible to shift-select with a marquee and add to a selection by drawing around it? Every attempt I made, the polys that were already selected reverted to de-selected. Is this a feature not a bug? If so, how do you add multiple complex unconnected objects to an existing selection (say, add several buttons to a selection you've made to the front of a jacket)? I am beginning to suspect that the only "Bug" I am facing is that my system is a little old, and that all the other problems I am having with C5 is that it was designed for a radically different workflow.
