All tools invisible except when in transparency mode?

ZBrush Usage Questions

Hi all,

I accidentally pressed a button and broke my zbrush. I have no idea what I pressed.

All tools are invisible, even after restarting my computer and zbrush. I can drag them out on the canvas and enter edit mode. If I click “Transp” I can see all other subtools as ghosted and rotate/zoom as needed, but I can’t see the selected subtool. Any other tool I load including the poly primitives act the same way.

Changing materials doesn’t fix anything, I can’t see anything with polyframe on, no settings that I see seem to solve this.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Nate

Solved, although I still don’t know what I did to cause the problem.

To fix it, I loaded a fresh copy of my custom UI. Apparently whatever I did was tied to the UI.

Solo. http://www.pixologic.com/docs/index.php/SubTools#Solo_mode

No, it wasn’t solo mode. I wasn’t able to see the active sub tool at all.

Try hitting center object or Frame if it happens again.

I tried that as well when it was happening. With the floor plane turned on I could see that it was adjusting the zoom level to frame the tool, but the tool was still invisible. When transparency was turned on I could also see it framing the tool, rotate around the tool appropriately, etc…

What is strange to me is that it was somehow tied to the UI layout itself, not the specific tool or any UI button.
