There is a version smaller for the icons of standard, dots, alpha and texture off in one of the interfaces, the main icons for the program. I want to grab those for for my custom interface, but I don’t know how to copy items between different interfaces and I can not find these items sizes in the normal one. Any solution?
if you open up your brush panel from the menu you will see all of the smaller icons (you’ll probably want to turn off wide icons as well), you can grab those icons to place them in your UI, same goes for every type of icon you’re looking for.
I could be wrong but those have not the same behavior even they look the same. The ones that I need, even they look identical, always show the active brush, tool etc. When opening the panel the only one that has that behavior is the large icon, the smaller ones not.
From an older question in the forum somebody was suggesting to get them from the quick menu (pressing space?) as they are small and have the needed behavior. But when I try to use alt=ctrl it doesn’t drag them, even in interface edit mode.
The small icons are the individual brushes. The large icon you’re talking about is the active brush only. Even though they might look the same they’re completely different buttons. I don’t think there is a small version of the active brush.
There is one for all main icons, it is located in one of the interfaces standard that comes with Zbrush. Simply use the icon in the the top right to check the different interfaces and you will find that one.
I could start in that interface and customize it but there is a bug with one the interface menus in that interface, the brush shape curve, because it can not be removed. It is stuck for ever in the screen.
I could use it as starting point, if it is really no possible to get the icons from somewhere but the brush curve control in the top can not be removed. Doing a search I have found somebody that has removed it, not tested it.
I’m out of look as I have noticed that the material icon is simply the standard small one behavior. If you select another material from another icon it will simply lose the selection but won’t update as the large ones or as the spacebar menus.
About easier to use the right click menu which stays open and let’s you get to all of those options, rather than via space bar which needs to be held until you select an option to stay open(you can tweak settings for how long things stay open but I haven’t tinkered too much with that).
But I can not drag anything from that menu when using alt+ctrl in interface edit mode, even using the right click button that allows to avoid using the spacebar. I find a waste of space those large default main icons that use 4 times more space.
Tab to hide them in conjunction with the right click menu will give you space. It’s just a means to access a function. Do you have the Axis plug? I posted a custom UI if you’re interested. Be forewarned it’s purple. Save your colors first. Happy ZBrushing.
