One of the things I have found on triangles and
quadrangles is that if you build a model and get it
almost complete as quadrangles and it suddenly
develops a "junkpile" you can use the triangulate
option to smooth it out again. Of course then you have
way too many definitions and can not do any more
modelling so hold this for the last. There may be
places that take a crease where you need to delete a
line or too for subtler smoothing. This is for things
like fifties cars with inset non-flush windows and the
genreral shaping of loaves of bread as to smoothness.
