Hi
It would be cool if you could select or hide by polygroup is there a way to do this?

Thanks

Absolutely! Ctrl+Shift+Click will do the job. Exactly what happens depends on whether your click is on a point belonging to one polygroup or two, and whether the mesh is fully visible or partially visible.

PS: This is covered in both the Practical Guide and the ZScripts included with Z2.

Hi, Does anyone know if you can or how to hide polygroups that can’t be touched by the mouse? I have a model of a ball set up from 3DS Max where the ball is a shell and the inside is a separate object. When exported to OBJ for ZBrush the objects are joined together and assigned polygroups. I want to be able to scuplt the outside of the ball and leave the inside alone but the only way to do this is to hide or mask the goups I don’t want sculpted, but these are inside the mesh and I can’t hide them with CTRL+Shift+Click.

What I am trying to do here is create a ring box that I can get 3D printed so I need to sculpt the outside so that the base and the lid of the box are seamless when closed but leave the inside smooth.

Thanks
