ZBrushCentral

Answered: Newbie questions

Hello Zbrushenauts! First time using Zbrush and first time writing here. I apologies for my English at once and for my newbie questions for sure)
So, my first frustration was concern a queer transpose tool. I have a flat form which I suppose to rotate angular in 90 degrees, but first I found that the Shift button doesn’t work for some reason, and secondly - I accidentally moved action line from the object center and can’t undo this unwanted step anyhow. Long story short: How to rotate with angle snapping and how to reset tool widget and place it automatically to initial position?
Thanks you !

If you’re wanting to rotate to a precise angle (which is what snapping does), simply use the Tool >> Deformation >> Rotate deformer. This can give the same angles that snapping would give, as well as anything else.

As for what happens if you accidentally move your Action Line, you can move it again by simply dragging with the center orange circle. Dragging either of the other orange circles would move that end of the line. Or you can redraw the whole line by clicking and dragging from any other spot on the model.

Hey thanks for reply aurick! But is there any other way to move action line to the actual center of my geometry automatically? Something like ‘Auto Center Handles’ or whatever…

ok, another think I’m curious about. When I’m pressing the B button I can see a table of ~130 different brushes, but also I discovered much more brushes (around two hundreds). Some of them are good indeed and I want to use them in my custom palette, BUT… when I firing command Reset all brushes this actual new buttons in my custom ui just disappearing! So what if I want to use those nice brushes and still be able to reset brush options to initial every time I need to?

Oh yes, and one more thing about brushes. Is it possible to use separate options for brushes while in progress. I mean I want for instance use flatten tool with 45 draw size and 30 focal shift and any other switched tool with it’s personal parameters… (masking tools would be great with higher focal shift imao, when you’re using other handy tool with lower FS).

Thanks guys!
