Long term Carrara artists will have solved this for themselves already in one of two ways. Indeed the solution is on the old archived forum.

However I couldn't find a video on it, plus if you watch my video the approach I'm taking is quick and you get to keep a vertex object at the end of the procedure.

I hope I save someone some of the pain I went through before coming across the solution.
