I know the feeling. With C5, the vertex room was reworked/improved to bring Carrara closer to the workflows of other 3D apps. Which for me personally, meant relearning how to use it at the most inconvenient times. Once you're in the groove, it does flow much better. But that doesn't recover time spent trying to do things the C4 way. :-/ Can you post a couple of screen shots of what you're modeling?
