Edit Objects within Subtool

Hello guys,

I just tried ZBrush the first time and have some trouble editing my Subtool.

I’ve used the IMMBoolean brush to add some geometry to my empty subtool.

Now when I hit W to move the thing, I only can move the last added object within the subtool.
When I try to mirror the subtool, I only mirror the last edited object.
But never the whole Subtool.

I think I have to merge everything or something, but I really don’t get it.

Or is it even possible to have different selectable objects within a SubTool?

Hi @Schniklars Welcome to ZBrush Central.

When you add an IMM object, it will mask the rest so you can transform that object alone. When you clear the mask, you will be able to transform the whole subtool. To clear the mask, you can go to “Tool > Masking” and click the “Clear” button, or you can Ctrl+drag on an empty part of the canvas.

Thank you very much! I did not see the mask selection because I was working with the material shader ON!

That helped a lot

You’re welcome! I’m glad that was your solution. Something else to keep in mind are Polygroups. Extremely useful!
