Zscript Note: Interface item could not be found, Popup:Mir#3_eyeball In..., [IPress,[StrMerge, "PopUp:",[Var,currentSubTool]]]

I get this error each time I try to run the mirror plugin. Please help.

Thank you,

I have just installed subtool master and an error pops up regardless of what i use from the plugin, e.g. merge, mirror, etc.

As an example, if i try to merge, the error is "zscript note: interface item could not be found. popup:mrg#1_PM3d_Sphere3D_1 in...[Ipress,[StrMerge, "PopUp:",[Var, cloneName]]]."

The plugin is, i believe, installed correctly. I have no idea what might be causing this issue.

Thanks in advance.

Check that you have the right version. I installed the subtool master 1.2G with zBrush 4 and I got the same error as you. It workd perfectly after I installed the subtool master 4.03 version. Be sure to delete the old version.

This plugin does export all subTools at once, however it creats a separate Maya file for each subTool... I would like to work on my whole model back and forward between Zbrush and Maya. Am I missing something?

If you want to work in Maya and ZBrush use GoZ - see the ZBrush/Documentation folder and here:

Yes, GoZ is the way to go. I was making a mistake of not keeping Maya file open, so every time I used GoZ function it was creating a new file. So I had separate files for every subTool, I did not realize that if I have a maya file already open Zbrush sends my subTool there. My problem solved. Thank you for your post.

I'm getting an error as well with ZBrush 4 on mac. I have version 4.03b and installed a new one from the DL central.

This was like my error though it was fixed after a redownload of the plugin. I don't know why it didn't work before but glad it works now

Greetings!

Subtool Master plugin for 3.1 is still available for download ?
goes the one i found at the download center is for ZBrush 4 ;(

[aurick]

ZBrush 3.1 hasn't been supported for years now. Is there a reason you haven't upgraded to the current version?

Sorry I removed my post. My problem magically fixed itself...
