Lower SubD Levels Gone

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hello. I was working on a Zombie model of mine which I then saved off as a Ztool. What happened was when I reopened it my lower Subdivision levels were gone. It was stuck at one of the higher subdivision levels and considered that level as level one. Also, that was the only level there was. What might’ve happened?

Is there a way to salvage it or to reconnect it with the base low-poly mesh? would I have to start over in order to get my lower subdivision levels back?

any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you

It sounds like you accidentally clicked the Delete Lower button at some point.

You can get things back. Load your base mesh and divide it to the proper number of subtools. Append the hi-res version. With the multi-res version selected, press Tool>SubTool>Project All.

Or you can export the hi-res version as an OBJ and then load the low-res. Divide to have the correct number of levels, then press Tool>Import and select the hi-res OBJ. It will update the highest level with the details, but will retain the lower levels.
