Thank you. I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to get rid of those UV balls, at least not by playing around and experimenting. I've also solved my first problem - didn't realise there was a slide out menu when hovering over the brush icon at the top of the tools! Consequently certain tools were drawing boxes instead of acting as a brush. It's my own fault for trying to dive in and not read up first. 3d Coat is a very impressive and just begs be played around with unlike most 3d software.

I've been working through various simple tutorials such as the getting started rat and also a cartoon hat on youtube. At various points I find that my installation of version 4 doesn't behave as shown in the tutorial. In particular I seem to be having trouble with various voxel tools such as Fill, Clay, Blob, Sphere, 2D-Paint and Plane, all of which draws sometimes bizarre rectangles rather than acting as a brush. I've spent over an hour poking around the UI trying to figure out a reason for this and yet wishing to follow the tutorial. Another question relating to retopology, is there any way to delete those blue balls creating by Points-Faces? Also if anyone knows of any hard surface tutorials that would greatly be appreciated.
