Hi, I absolutely agree: this "click several times to select what you want" is one of the Blender features I miss the most in other software packages. Some possible solutions to your problem:
- Select one vertex you want to be selected, press H, repeat until you have all wanted vertices hidden, then press alt+H. All desired vertices are selected. - Use shift+B (zoom box) or numpad period "." (zoom to selected) to zoom exactly to where the tiny features are. Also, make sure antialiasing is disabled: there are issues with mesh editing and antialiasing because of the way Blender calculates what to select.
