Actually sometimes even with ac3d available I still need to, rarely, go into
an editor to tweak something! But yes, a tool is the way to go.

It's not the I _really_ feel the need.
It is just that the few 3d tools I have taken a look at, Maya, Blender and one

Harder, it seems to me anyway, than thinking in terms of edges and nodes in
