Hello Charlie, can you post a screengrab?
In anim8or, there are 3 ways to subdevide a mesh.
Did you not get a menu with numbers in?

Have to go out now, will be back in an hr.

Oh, boy, I wrote this in 2006?
I'm getting old :-(

But I still use anim8or, nothing come close for KISS.
And it works like a charm.

Greetings Tony
