Hello,
is it possible, to only mask the outer edgeloop of for example a flat circle to change the geometry of the circle without changing the border (for example with the move brush)?
Using mask border also masks the complete polygon-row along the border so they don’t change their topology.
If there is no possibility to only mask the edges (I didn’t find such a function), is there a workaround?

pardon me if i don’t understand correctly.
if you are trying to mask the rim of a circle, you can use the “mask circle” brush to mask the center of the circle and then invert the mask.
I think,you ment something different. I Know how mask circle works. Bur I don’t want to mask polygons. Only the outer edges. The polygons, which contain the edges, should remain unmasked. As an example: Only the rim of a circle should be masked, but not the polygons at he rim. Up to now, I didn’t find such a function in zbrush. Every masking-operation maskes not only the rim, it also masks the polygons at the rim.

is mask by feature help?
Mask By Features
The Mask By Feature button will apply a mask to the geometry Border, PolyGroup border and/or Creased edge, depending on the options selected to the right of the button. The options can be selected however you want, either on their own or together.
Border ***8211; when turned on masking will be along the visible border of a mesh. Either the mesh must be ***8216;open***8217; or part of the mesh must be hidden for this option.To see Mask By Features > Border in action:Load the LightBox > Tools > DemoHead.ZTL.Make sure Border is turned on and click the Mask By Features button.Only the edges of any openings will be masked.Groups ***8211; when turned on masking will be along the borders of all PolyGroups.Crease - when turned on masking will be along creased edges.
half of the sphere was hidden and then click Mask By Feature:
only the visible mesh 's border get masked:
Ok, thank you, that was the trick.
Sorry for my late reply, I was on holidays.
