"Cant edit Ztool"

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hi all,

Here is a problem I am facing…I cant edit or modify mesh which is been saved as Ztool.

Here what I did.

  1. I started sculpting a mesh imported from 3ds max with uv layedout.

  2. During mid process I realized some UV has to be fixed.
    So I exported the mesh as lower division from zbrush to max, edit uv layout then again imported
    in zbrush .

    It asked dialog box to transfer data to highres , which is ok

  3. I add more details and finish sculpting and create all maps. Save the mesh as Ztool.
    Close Zbrush.

  4. I open again zbrush and load tool that mesh , but when i go to edit mode pressing T
    and apply some more details it does not effect anything on the surface.

What I am doing wrong here ? Will be glad to get a reply.

Thanks
A.S

probably masked.

tool.masking.clear

see if that gets you where you need to go

Hi,

Thanks for info, Yes I had a look on that post …Solved now.

Thanks once again…

It could be masked as was suggested. Sometimes happens accidently. :wink: Are you trying to sculpt or paint/texture? IF there’s a texture applied you’re going to hit a roadblock with polypaint right there.
