Last year I had an opportunity to take a look at Maxons C4D(terrible
slow Open GL screen rendering), and saw a nice feature.
In selection-mode you can check a box: "Only select visible elements",
which prevents selecting unwanted points on the back of your mesh.

Really a nice and handy feature!

I still haven't figured out how to split one quad into two quads...
I wish there would be more tutorials for mesh editing, because the
Beta-Helpfile just gives a glimpse of how it has to be done.

@Lutz:
Just don't forget your promise to make meshpoint-selections persistent
when switching between EDIT and MODIFY ;-)
