Move Brush not responding

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

I am attempting to take a Sphere 3D and stretch it into a Vase Shape. Here are my steps.
Load the Spere 3D, Make it a Poly Mesh 3D, Then go to Transform and activate Symmetry, Turn X off, Turn Z On, Trn R on, change to 37 points. Then I change the brush to “Move Brush”, change stroke to “DragRect”. Draw size to “146”, Intensity to “25”, Focal Shift to “0”.

When I attempt to change the shape of the Spher3D, Nothing happens. I can change the brush to the Standard Brush and I can get deformation.
Any help on why the Move Brush is not working would be appreciated.

Why did you change the stroke to DragRect?

#3

I changed the stroke to “DragRect” based on watching the ZBrush Video “Creating a Vase - Chapter 1” . As you will notice, when he changes the brush to a “Move Brush” in the Stroke column, he is showing the icon for the DragRect" So I thought that that was what he was using. Correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks for your assistance.

He’s probably using an older version of ZBrush where the wrong stroke type sometimes showed in the Current Stroke thumbnail. There’s no need to change the stroke type from the default for the Move brush, in fact doing so will mean the brush doesn’t work.

Thanks guys for your advise. After a quite confusing time, I decided that what I was seeing on the video was not quite right. I will have to pay more attention to the older videos and the newer version of ZBrush
