Can you draw an Insert Mesh on the surface of an inactive subtool below

[system]

I am trying to draw some button meshes on a subtool but I want them kept separate from the subtool. Is there a way you can draw an Insert Mesh on the surface of an inactive subtool below? Or is there a way to add a whole bunch of buttons on a subtool and then keep them in a separate subtool. Thanks for any help!

If it’s inactive, how can you do anything to it? You’ll have to switch to the subtool you want to draw your button on first unless you merge down your subtools. Insert meshes can be split and duplicated and then repositioned etc. Note the Note on this page>>http://docs.pixologic.com/user-guide/3d-modeling/modeling-basics/subtools/
