Useful small ZScripts and Macros for ZBrush 4 & 4R3
This thread is intended as repository for useful small zscripts, plugins and macros. Sometimes there's a simple zscript solution to a problem or need that may not warrant a major plugin but will none-the-less be useful to users. If you have written such a zscript, plugin or macro please share it here so that users can easily find it and benefit. Thanks! :)
Note: some of the plugins or macros posted here may not work correctly with ZBrush 4R3. Those that have been updated for 4R2 will say so.

Large Menus
This is for those people that find the ZBrush palette titles a little small. It's a set of buttons that can be added to a custom interface to give access to the palettes. The images can be edited to suit the user's requirements.
Unzip and put the Large_Menus.zsc file and MenusImages folder in the ZStartup/ZPlugs folder. Restart ZBrush and there will be a Large Menus menu in the ZPlugin palette. When creating a custom interface, the buttons can be Ctrl+Alt+dragged to where you want.
Note that when a palette is open in the right or left tray the 'large menu' button will do nothing.

Proxy buttons for Toggle Symmetry, x, y, z, r and Enable Customize
Here are six, miniaturized "proxy" buttons that can be used in place of their menu counterparts to save space when inserted on your customized interface (these smaller buttons are especially useful for Tablet PC users.)
1. sym = toggle symmetry on/off
2. x = toggle x symmetry
3. y = toggle y symmetry
4. z = toggle z symmetry
5. r = toggle radial symmetry
6. UI-ed = toggle Enable Customize button and off.
For those who are constantly tweaking their interface, the handy UI-ed button can be permanently placed on the interface where the HUGE Enable Customize button would not fit.
Unzip ZB4 proxy buttons.zsc into the ZStartup/Zplugs folder. Then, look for the buttons in the ZPlulgin/Svengali subfolder next time you start ZBrush.
ZB4 proxy buttons.txt file included.

Lasso - Paint mask/selection toggle

I had actually done that already (which is why I thought it would be good to start this repository!):
The little plugin in the zip will give you the old Lasso button behaviour. Unzip and put the file in you ZStartup/ZPlugs. Restart ZBrush and you will have a Marcus Tools menu in the ZPlugin palette. In that will be a switch named Lasso.
The switch will toggle the Lasso and Paint mask/selection brushes. With the Paint mask selected you will be able to drag a rectangle from outside the model, just as in 3.5. You can assign a hotkey to the switch if you wish.
The first time you use the switch in a session you may have to press it twice, depending on your setup. You may also get the message about selecting the mask option, which you can get rid of for the rest of the session.
