My model suddenly switched to some sort of 2d paint scattering of itself?

Hello all, something very annoying keeps happening in R8 where for some reason (something I accidentally pressed?) my model is no longer in 3d but in some sort of 2d painting mode where it becomes the brush and paints duplicates across the screen. I’m sure this is a feature, though not very helpful when I can’t find any indication as to how to switch back to 3d editing mode.

Can anyone shed light on what this feature is and how I can avoid it next time? Restarting zbrush for now :-\

There is a glitch in R8 that sometimes causes a tool to exit edit mode and become stuck in 2.5 d mode. I’m not certain exactly what causes it. Switch to another 3d tool (like the default poly star) and back again to clear it.

ok thanks Spyndel, will try that next time.

I have noticed that the stroke changes to freestyle from drag if you do not go into edit mode, also drag is then dimmed out and not selectable. I select freestyle then drag becomes selectable, select drag and it works.
