Some questions in regards to TCE usage and UV mapping.

1. I'm in TCE, and I select a vertex or surface. Does there exist a scrip, plug-in, whatever that also highlight that selected vertex or surface in the main windows? Right now trying to adjust surface and vertex's to obtain a good UV map is at best a guessing game, as selecting a single vertex in the main windows shows nothing in TCE, and selecting a surface does not show show which vertex of that surface is which in TCE. It's a damn frustrating guessing game I'm getting tired of playing, because I cannot adjust vertex order on surface without knowing which is which.

2. If I adjust surfaces and vertex in the TCE to obtain a good UV map without changing the model in the main windows, will those adjustments be saved if I then export as a UV map? Or is it only the original UV map that counts?
