Rhinocerous 3D Tutorial help.
I'm following the Rhinocerous tutorial, and I am encountering 2 problems.  

A) Whenever I try to draw a surface from 3 to 4 points, it is always subdevided.  by 2 lines.  Is there anyway to get this to go away?  I don't want to have to draw everything in 3D faces.

B) When I reach the part of the tutorial 2.9 Proper Triangulation, it says to push the "Mesh from NURBS" button.  The closest Button I can get is the "Extract Mesh From NURBS Control Polygon" button.  And none of the options pop up like the tutorial says there will, and it just plain doesn't look like what it should in the tutorial.

If Anyone can help,  I'd be appreciative.

I use Rhino for modelling and I haven't found any sort of triangulation option in there yet so I normally just wait until i've got the model into Truespace and then triangulate it in there.

Well, I was only 19 polygons over what I should have been, so I just sort of left it as is.  I'm only doing this so I can learn the system.  

I didn't think of doing it in TrueSpace, but thats probably because Truespace is sapping my brain of the desire to model.  I truely loath this peice of filth.  Why can't I just have normal buttons and a menu bar?  Is that too much to ask from the people who made TrueSpace?  I don't want to guess what that little icon means, I'd rather just go to my toolbar and *read* it.   ::Sigh::

Back to trying to figure this out.  Thanks though for your sugestion.

TS isn't that bad. Having said that, there's no way I'd trust it with a mega high poly render image/scene.
