Regarding question 2, yes you can, but you have to click down before you press ‘Shift’ key.

Also, don’t forget that you can also use Stroke>LazyMouse>Backtrack>SnapToTrack>Line.

There was a problem with Ctrl+Z not working properly when version 4 came out, but it wasn’t just because of .obj imports. Try the following and see if it works.

  1. Go to the Pixologic\ZBrush 4.0\ZStartup\HotKeys folder and open the StartupHotkeys.txt file in Notepad.

  2. Add the following lines to the end of the file:

[EDIT:UNDO,634] // Ctrl+Z

[EDIT:TOOL:UNDO,634] // Ctrl+Z

[EDIT:REDO,890] // Ctrl+Shift+Z

[EDIT:TOOL:REDO,890] // Ctrl+Shift+Z

  1. Save the file and restart ZBrush.

yes yes it worked :smiley:
