the default UI has the active points and total points on the shelf. But when I put them on a custom UI, they disappear when I restart zbrush.
Why does Pixologic like to do things like this?
I tried just modifying the standard UI leaving the ActivePoints and Total Points where they were, but they disappear. I guess the code doesn’t save for them.
I tried opening the cfg in notepad++ to try and copy and paste it in from the standard UI but it notepad++ couldn’t read it. Does anyone know what language the cfg files use? (I’m not a programmer but I would like to try and get this working…)
Durr I just needed to do a little more searching 
marcus posted an answer to this already saying you need to have a 2.5 tool selected… kind of weird, but whatever it works
