Hi Leonard,

It can be hard to see the problem areas, but sometimes turning on control points will help.
So for example with your particular M, if you turn on control points (Edit > Show pts) you can kind of see there is a greater density of points in those areas where there are also some little segments:
That extra density in areas where you wouldn't really expect a whole lot of detail can be a clue of extra segmentation in those spots.
You can also clean up this kind of stuff with little segments by using the Rebuild command, it will do stuff like take 2 little segments that are touching each other close to being smooth and instead build one single larger segment in place of them.
I guess I should probably be doing an automatic rebuild process in more cases. I've tended to be somewhat conservative about doing automatic changing type stuff since part of rebuilding or reconstructing things can involve minor changes in the shape as well... But I've been gaining more confidence that the rebuild mechanism is working well so I can probably start to incorporate it in more places in v3.
re: Project - do you have a particular model that you can post that you're having difficulty with?
