Masking and Extract issue, Help please!

Hey everyone, I started learning how to use Zbrush and I just came across this problem where I’ll mask my mesh and then extract it but once I extract the part of the mesh it does show up, however once I move to rotate around the rendering it disappears and doesn’t show up in my subgroup :frowning: I have ZBrush 4R6 I believe it that makes any difference. Anyone that could help me out would be awesome.

Hi Mark, don’t forget you have to hit the accept button for the extraction to be completed. By hitting the Extract button you get to see a representation of what the extraction will look like before you accept it. If you move the subtool it will disappear it is designed that way to allow the user to make adjustments without having to create multiple extractions as you fine tune what you are trying to achieve. You’ll find the accept button right below the Extract button.

I posted a macro called ExtracT.txt which does the extraction and switches to it. It uses the same settings as in the panel, no need to click accept.

Thanks so much, I really appreciate you taking time out of your day to make a comment and help people out. :slight_smile: Now I can make clothes! yes!
