Can't paint on a specific Subtool.

Can someone please help me think through possible reasons of why I would not be able to paint on my subtool anymore? I can pick any other Subtool and paint on it but I can’t on one in particular. I obviously don’t understand ZBrush well enough to be able to troubleshoot this particular problem. No I don’t have an alpha mask on the model. Yes I have RGB enabled. Yes the little paintbrush icon is turned on in the SubTool pallette. Yes my Intensity, Draw Size, Focal Shift and RGB Intensity are turned up. Yes I am using a Standard brush that paints on other subtools just fine. What could cause a model to be unpaintable?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

It’s easy to accidentally mask the subtool by ctrl clicking on the canvas. Check to see if the object is masked in the Masking panel.

Make sure you don’t have a Texture Map active on the subtool (Tool > Texture Map) .

Thanks zber2, Tool>Texture Map>Texture On was enabled. When I disable it I start painting with my texture that I exported before I saved, but now I know to turn it off. I was going out of my mind and I really appreciate you helping me.

Thanks again,

Bryson
