Is there a way to adjust Move-Scale-rotate incrementally by numerical entry?

[Gridlost]

Many other 3D packages allow you to make measurement adjustments numerically. I cant seem to figure out how to do this in Zbrush. For example, I click the move button, place my action line and attempt to move it. I get close to what i want, but due to nervous shakiness (Too much coffee ^^ ) I miss my desired mark. I would love to be able to nudge the rotation, move and scale numerically.

One more question,

Is there a way to rotate, stretch, scale an alpha once it has been place? For example I by hand layout a an alpha pattern I am happy with but I notice that it is off by a small amount. I would want to move it a bit, is there a way to do this? Like grab the alpha as a whole, and move it, as if it were a subtool?

Thank you for any help

Use the Deformation subpalette. Click on the name of what you want to use ie: Offset, Scale, Rotate and a red number box will appear at which point you can enter a numerical value then hit enter. You can also use decimal values for very fine adjustments. You will also have to select which axis you want to use.

No, not after it’s already on the subtool. However, if you are using a mask brush and alpha with the DragRect stroke and start the stoke off of the subtool, you can scale and position it however you want. For example: While holding down Ctrl, select your alpha and the DragRect stroke. Start the stroke on an empty part of the canvas. Without letting go of Ctrl, hold down the Spacebar to move it or let go of the Spacebar to re-scale it again or press Spacebar to move it again. If you want the alpha to scale squarely, then use the ‘Rect’ stroke instead of the ‘DragRect’ stroke and enable ‘Square’ and ‘Center’ in your stroke options.

If you use projection master, you can edit a stroke with move/rotate/scale after placing it. Transpose can also be used to some effect to scale an alpha-mask, but it wont give complete control or let you edit the result once placed.
