Custom UI 3.5 and ActivePoints?

Hi,

I made a custom UI, and I tried to add ActivePoint and Totalpoint in the bottom bar.
In 3.1 you had to do this without any tool being selected, than you could save it and Voila.

I made the same thing again and again and it doesn’t works, and the worst is that I can recall these buttons by pressing restore custom UI at startup but only with the default polysphere, if I try to recall the custom UI with an other tool it doesn’t work.

Any idea?

i’ve had to mess with it as well, you do need to have a ztool selected just not in edit mode, i did it right after startup with the default polysphere.
i’m unsure though as to which button saves it, either save ui or configuration, i’ve always done both in the past, and messed with it so much this last week that its one or the other or both :smiley:

one thing to note at least on my end, when i restart zbrush they don’t show up until i run my own startup macro which loads my custom user config file.

Yes that’s terrible, I tried everycombination possible, but I can’t get these at startup, I have to recall my config everytime I launch Zb.

hi, as i said i use a macro that does some other stuff plus reloading my config.
however as a test i just saved my custom ui in the zstartup/userinterfacelayouts folder. if you do that all you will have to do is click the little arrow in the upper right corner, i have removed all the other interface layouts from that folder except for zsketch, you may want to do the same so you don’t have to cycle through them all.
this would all be easier if they would just let us make our own true startup routine, there might even be a way but i don’t know it.

  1. Go to \ZBrush 3.5R2\ZScripts
  2. Open DefaultZScript and replace text

//startup

[If,1,[FileNameSetNext,“ZPLUGS_SplashData/Startup.txt”][IPress,ZScript:Load]][pd]

//[If,1,[FileNameSetNext,“ZPLUGS_SplashData/SphereStartup.txt”][IPress,ZScript:Load]][pd]

  1. Start ZBrush end select Other (Pres Esc)
  2. Go Preferences/Custom UI/Enable Costomize
  3. Go Misc /ctrl drag ActivePoint and Totalpoint in the bottom bar
  4. Config/Store Config
  5. Restart ZBrush and enjoy.

Thank you very much ARVI…that works … :smiley: :+1:
