Thank you. I posted two screenshots in moray binaries.
I could also send the .mdl file if you'd like.

Glad you asked. ;^}> There are a few things I've thought would be helpful;
I'm not sure how realistic any of them are.
1. A way to change the color of parts of the mesh at will in order to better
keep  track of which points are which.
2. A way to make parts of the mesh "off limits" so that it would be easier
to select only the points you want to select, without accidentally selecting
ones you don't want selected.
3. The ability to add a point to an edge. The way it works now, when you
divide an edge, it adds edges where they are not wanted, dividing faces
diagonally, which then have to be found and merged, taking a lot of extra
time.
4. A way to divide a face diagonally without having to first delete the
face, select three points, create face, select the other three points, and
create face. Like maybe selecting two points and "split face".

That's all I can think of for now. I hope that it can be of some use.
