I just got Zbrush 3d and I really hate the new way to move things or scale a body part.
I believe now I have to mask and that thing with the 3 circles comes into play. If I don’t mask an entire funky thing happens.
I just want to toggle or find a way to go back to the standard move and scale within the draw area like in Zbrush 2. It makes it harder to edit models. Any ideas?
I’d say study a lot. The hot keys for these functions (modes) are:
q = draw
w = move
e = scale
r = rotate
These options are also in the top tool bar, above the canvas, in the ui.
What you don’t have masked will be affected, down to the polygon. There are a few ways of masking and adjusting the masked areas. The softer the mask, the smoother the transition along the border of the masked area.
Study masking and transpose a lot. Don’t post too many questions before studying up. Pretty much everything you need to know is out there. I feel you, though, because I’ve been there on many occasions, not just with ZBrush. I know that “WTF” moment, believe me, and it’s not like 3d is simple. Here’s the ZBrush wiki:

While your at it, download the subtool master and transpose master, if you haven’t already. These are two very necessary plug ins that affect the posing capabilities of ZBrush.

Good luck!
By the way, if you’re looking for the Move feature from ZBrush 2 it’s now the Move brush in the Brush palette. Since it’s now a brush, it also has a lot of cool modifications that you can do with it.
For scaling parts of the model, you might consider something like the Inflate brush. Or there’s the Magnify brush.
I think 2 second way is what I’m looking for.
