Im trying to get to grips with milkshape. The only problem I have is selceting the points i want to use/move/make into a face etc. Alot of the points are very close together or all behind oneanother etc and when trying to select certain ones most of the time i select the wrong one like the ones behind it. Is there a way to show only front points? or hide the ones at the back etc? Thanks

yes, select points you want to hide (in another view), and go to Edit|Hide selection.

thanks i'll go try it

In Blender, hit Z, and with regular settings you should be fine.
