After changing the number of elements by LMB, I hit mesh.   However when I select the surfaces again and MMB it remesh and I lose my changes.  How to keep the mesh, while allowing to go back into the surface to make more modifications (i.e, adding removing number of elements) ?

    Hi,

    Have you tried using fixed points at the locations where you would like to preserve nodes? You can use the quick edit panel (F11) to quickly add these points at the desired locations on your model. Any remeshing process will take these points into account and preserve the meshed nodes.

    Hi,

    Don't remesh the surfaces when you just want to add/remove number of elements.

    To add/remove number of elements, use panel "quick edit" (shortcut key F11):
