Hi @omerhand!

You’ll want to read the documentation for Fibermesh, particularly the following section:

FiberMesh geometry is optimized for performance which and includes specific attributes which let the ZBrush groom sculpting brushes know that they are being used on a FiberMesh. Any 3D brush can be adjusted to edit fibers through settings in the Brush > FiberMesh sub-palette. However, if you do something that changes the topology — like slicing the fibers or adding subdivision levels – ZBrush converts the FiberMesh into a standard polymesh. From that point forward, the sculpting brushes will behave exactly like they would for any normal mesh object.

What has likely happened is that at some point you performed an operation that broke the live state of the fibermesh subtool, making the geometry prone to stretching and distortion like any mesh with the sculpting tools. Basically, anything that changes the geometry in the subtool, even merging it with another subtool.

Unfortunately, I’m not aware of anything that can be done to restore it to its previous state, unless you have access to an earlier version of the subtool before it broke.
