make several subtools out of one

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hi,

I was wondering, how I could make different subtools out of one main tool. I selected the demosoldiers legs, pressed the hidePt-button and grouped them. Then I´ve hidden the legs and grouped the other parts aswell. This results in one group for the legs and one group for the rest. When I press the GrpSplit-Button in the subtool-menu, zbrush divides the tool into to subtools, but messes up the geometry. What would be the best approach for this?

thanks

GrpSplit is the feature that you want to use.

Use the Tool>Polygroups menu to assign, then GrpSplit to create the SubTools.

You could also go to the lowest level and hide part of the mesh. Then use Tool>SubTool>Split to break the hidden polys into a different SubTool.
