can't make polymesh3d? (solved!)

[system]

I installed Zbrush yesterday, but I’m having this problem where I can’t make polymesh3d. Here are my steps:

1. open zbrush
2. create zsphere
3. go into edit mode
4. after working on zsphere I preview and click “make polymesh3d”

Nothing happens, if I press A again I got back to seeing the zsphere, and I can’t divide.

How can I fix this?

With zspheres, use “Make Adaptive Skin” (Adaptive Skin tab of Tools Pallet) or “Make Unified Skin” (Unified Skin Pallet). You’ll see a new tool in your tool pallet named “Skin_xxxx” (xxxx based on the name of your Zsphere tool.) This is a poly mesh you can sculpt, divide, rename, etc.

zbrush makes your new mesh in the tool box… look for it there. essentially there will be two copies of your tool, the pm3d version and the original zsphere

That worked, thanks!
