Can anyone tell me why selecting a different brush changes the brushes I set in my custom UI? For example I put clay build up on my custom UI but when I go to the brush menu and select one that’s not on my UI it changes it to the brush I selected. It only does it when I use the quick menu, which is a little frustrating because I use the quick menu 99.9% of the time to change brushes when they’re not in my custom UI.
I tried adding the brushes to the folder as described but the same thing happens still. I added a picture to help show what I’m talking about the picture is the right shelf of the canvas where all the default navigation and poly frame button is by default. 
#1 is how I set it up so I can just grab a brush I normally use. But if I use quick menu to select something I don’t use all that often result #2 happens, is there a way to prevent this? It simply replaces the brush and that is not what I want.
The hot key B brings up the brush palette, slightly quicker than quick menu because you’ll still need to select the brush icon to get the brushes displayed as in first method. Custom UI is the way to go.
Yeah I know it’s the only thing that works reliably without altering the UI and have already made the adjustment to how I work, so thanks for the help. I just think it’s a little weird that that happens on the custom UI.
What is happening on your UI is you’re selecting the icon for the active brush (you’re not actually saying, just pick this brush, you’re doing both at the same time) So the icon is now displaying your active brush, if you change brushes it will change that icon to display your active brush.
Most of us get around this by having an extra brush on our menu that we select before switching to some random brush that you just happen to need, that way all of your actual UI brushes are still in the correct location, and you use the place holder brush as your random brush selector.
Hope that helps.
So what you’re saying is, pulling from the quick menu is selecting the active brush? Be cause when I was setting it up and first noticed the problem I had, I thought it was because I had selected the current brush(the one that was highlighted). So I went back and made sure I was selecting brushes from the brush palette that were not currently selected and I still had the same issue.
Or did I misunderstand you? I used inactive brushes from the brush palette to set up the UI, but found that if I select a brush from the quick menu it changes my UI. But if I select from the brush palette or the B shortcut it doesn’t change the UI. Is that right?
If I understood you thanks for clearing it up for me, I’ll just keep using “B” to get what I need.
