If you clean your history well, I've been up to ~4-4.5 million triangles on this Core2Duo E6600 + GeForce 7900GT; it was sluggish but it worked. It was smooth at 3-3.5 million

Is there any way to force the cut tool to, instead of using arbitrary hand-drawn lines or cartesian planes... use actual geometry -- a single face or possibly a full discrete mesh?

Think booleans...

Why try to maintain quads?

Sure they smooth better than triangles and n-sideds... but it will smooth a lot worse if the vertexes aren't even in the right places.

If you need to make triangles...
