Question about Panel Loops and ZModeler

[stuffbyjk]

Hello ZBrush community! LONG time lurker, first time poster here. I’m hoping you can help me out with the Panel Loops function.

I’ve been modeling an armored boot with the Zmodeler brush, and have divided my mesh into polygroups to designate where I’d like a crisp “channel” or bevel separating each panel. Panel loops seemed like the way to go. However, when I use the Dynamic preview, all of the panels separate apart instead of staying fused (see below).

Am I missing something here? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I just had a look at your picture. What happens if you make it all one polygroup?

Hey Dillster, thanks for the quick reply! Looks like my other images didn’t attach properly. I’ve re-attached those here.

As for using panel loops with one polygroup, this is what I get:

The function seems to have worked, but then again it’s only making one panel loop at the object interior as there’s only one poly group.
