Hi, I’m new to Zbrush, and I have a question - I was attempting to build a hand, which I made from Zspheres and edited until I was around 1/5 of the way done. I saved the document, and now when I come back to the program and load the document, I can no longer edit the hand the same way - rotating it, etc. The brushes selection in the upper left of the screen is disabled, as well. Maybe I’m just overlooking something simple, but I can’t figure out how to open the document and edit my hand like I was doing before I saved the document and closed the program - any suggestions?
You have to save your model as a tool from the Tool / Save as menu. This saves it as a ztl file which you can re-open again for further editing from the tool menu. It sounds as if you have saved the document which is the 2.5d canvas. If that’t the case you cannot edit the tool anymore.

Thanks for the reply. I studied up on Zbrush a bit after reading this, so now I understand what happened. Thankfully, I had a copy of the hand exported as a .obj that I managed to import and continue working on; I lost one level of subdivision, but not much else.
