Q: Subtool with same names, selection problem

Hi

I am sure there is a solution somewhere here but tried to search for key words and did not fine anything.

Goal: To be able to select the subtool regardless of the title being the same or then making sure the title being the same won’t interfere with selecting the subtool and doing actions on it.

According to me within a subtool you have to have the title/name of the subtool to do actions on it and not the index (if not then this is a potential solution)

Selecting a subtool third on the index with the same name as a subtool first on the index is not possible because zbrush selects the first instance it gets with that name.

I know the subtool master renames duplicate names and surely it ran into the same problem potentially. I am thinking there is a solution but probably a smart hack or way to get it or command I just completely missed.

Thanks for any help

Hi,

You can select a subtool by its index, starting at 0 for the top subtool. There are some examples in this thread.

If this doesn’t help with what you want to do, let me know.
