Artifacts?

[system]

Gosh I wish I knew more about Zbrush, I’m learning though, and trying my best at it (made difficult by having 12+ hours a day dedicated to working on airplanes at Boeing and another 3+ hours afterwards for college).

So I’ll admit I have no idea what happened here, or how to mend the issue; I started working on a small section and then when I went to rotate…I found this sectional chunk just kind of floating in mid-space. Can’t do anything with it (sculpting or otherwise), I know there has to be some trick for getting rid of it, I saved the file (under a new name) and when I reopened it it was still there. Quite aggravating when you don’t know all the mechanics of the program.

If anybody can help, I’d be very appreciative.
Thanks in advance

Also; here’s a picture of the issue

I’m not exactly sure what you are referring to in your text or your picture. I am assuming that you probably had a mask active when you rotate the subtool but the whole subtool was not masked. If you saved the ztool like that then you will probably have to re-do that subtool. Your pointing to a general area in the image. I can’t see a “sectional chunk just kind of floating in mid-space”. Can you be a bit more specific?

EDIT: I see what you mean now. I thought you were just intentionally showing a closeup, but as soon as I noticed what version of ZBrush you are using, I knew what you meant. I just automatically assumed that you were using version 4R3. That issue is fixed in version 4R3. At least I havn’t run into it yet. It was a bug in 4R2b where it would suddenly take a snapshot of the model and leave it on the canvas. You should really upgrade to 4R3. In the meantime, if it happens again, just turn ‘Edit’ (T) off, hit Ctrl+N to clear the canvas and re-draw the tool on the canvas, turn ‘Edit’ back on.
