Under the brush menu (top menu) can you try turning on backface masking? This might allow you to mask only a single side of a thin surface.
Swellguy, Go to your Brush>Auto Masking settings. Hold your Control key down to turn the setting for your masking brush on and click to enable “Backface Masking”. This will only allow masking on the normals that are facing your view.
EDIT:
Didn’t see your post when I refreshed pointpusher.
Yeah i tried that it dosnt seem to help. Any other suggestions would be very welcomed.
thanks again

You may have to give us more details in what exactly it is that you’re doing. Also you may be able to clean geometry up by hiding it (or assigning polygroups and then hiding) and Delete Hidden. Obviously that isn’t ideal but sometimes is just part of the process.
Edit:
If you have symmetry on and working parallel to that direction then this will definitely mess you up in situations.
I actually was reading that zbrush 4 is having problems with the automasking (backface included) features and an update will be released to fix it. Do you know anything about that?

I’m not sure about that, the feature works as it should on my machine. Not saying that odd problems don’t exist. Hopefully you can get that figured out soon, one way or the other.
Very inspirational and instructional. 
love it and definitely want to get this DVD.
Great DVD! This is exactly what I need for learning hard surface modeling in Zbrush. Quick question regarding the creation of a custom UI:
I followed your steps and successfully created a custom UI, but it doesn’t appear when restarting the program. Is there a way to save it or do I have to reassign the custom UI every time?
Thanks in advance!
mike you a real A BEST teacher in zbrush i see all your tutorila i learn to much stuff it just need to pratice more but really man you are a talented artist keep it pal
see ya with new stuff
The UI link is not working. Where can I download it? Also why is it that my extract with thickness of 1 seems very thick. Am I missing something?
This DVD is awesome btw. Thanks Mike!

So I know this is super old thread but I figure it can’t hurt to ask!
My office is going to order this!
I can’t wait to get into start!
Forgive me if it’s included or covered in the videos but the UI link in this thread isn’t working- does anyone have it?
It’d be awesome to just be up and running when we get the DVD.
