Mirror subtool with subdivisions ? [Solved]

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

hi,

is there a quick way to mirror an object but still keep the subdivision levels ?
I have used the subtool master to flip it but then i lose the subdivisions, I know that I could mirror the high version and the low version then project the details but just wanted to know if there is actually a better way to do this as i have a few objects i want mirrored and they are all over 1million polys each so a single button press would be better than multiple duplicates and then projecting all the details for each object.

hope that makes sense :slight_smile:

and thanks in advance.

mirror then reconstruct your subD levels.

yeah tried that as well but it gives me a message saying unable to reconstruct lower subiv operation cancelled.
and does not do anything :frowning:
ive looked around and seen a few other people say they have had this happen but i cant seem to find a solution :frowning:

ok managed to fix it, the subtool master plugin should automatically bring over the lower subdivs but there was a strange problem with my mesh so it could not reconstruct the lower divisions.
I exported my mesh back into Maya and when it came in there were extra polys floating on top of each other, almost like there was 2 identical meshes on top but broken into lots of polygroups, I merged everything together and removed polys sharing the same space then reimported and everything is now fine :slight_smile:
