Hi, I have experienced a few incidents of attempt to exit VWD = hang crash. 95% of the times it works however. I'm keeping a bug notes and will observe the crash patterns further before I post it here.

3 - Please add an option to select only visible vertices instead of all vertices in the square.

4 - Please implement a round/oval vertice selection tool (click to set center, drag and release to select size, move around mouse to set eccentricity and click to confirm would be awesome).

If I understood you correctly, what you want already exist.

Press Vertices Tool > V button to turn off/on backface selectability.

Press Vertices Tool > L button to switch between square marque or more organic lasso select.

I've also written to VWD Gerald on making it optional to import pre-selected polygroups from DS.

Most content-oriented users who work with clothing and prop setups will generally prefer the geometry selector tools of the host, no need to relearn hotkeys and mouse behavior. But I understand VWD was made for Poser with awkward last gen selection tools and only 2 group types.

DS's geometry editor allows FIVE grouping types! And comes with mirror symmetry XYZ, grow/shirnk/hide/lock add/subtract and fast naming options. Carrara also has more efficient group selection options than Poser.

VWD has yet to exploit DS and Carrara's group selection capabilities, which is a vital function in cloth sims. I like VWD having post-simulation or on the fly vertices re-selection options but from experience it would speed up the work process by 300% if Daz users could harness the more efficient grunt work capability of the host tools.

DS's Geometry Editor, for example, already has a Rigidity Follow Node, which actually correlates with Vertices Groups > Rigidity by Neighborhood function. This DS native weight group type could either be auto-assigned, or a simple drop down menu click like in current workflow. A time and click saver when using conforming clothing that has been rigged with buttons and belts with Rigidity weight groupings.
