Greetings: going through the noise in layers tutorial video I reach the point where the morph brush is selected and in the video he paints out some of the noise. I have been through the video many times and the following happens each time when I reach that point. See image
I have tried turning off ZAdd / ZSub but that doesn’t work, I tried to work out if I am doing anything differently than the video and I don’t think I am. Help please.

Well the message clearly says it all - turn the layer recording mode ON…
You must have made 3dlayers, they are in the tool menu > 3d layers
So, go there and turn the little circle button “O” ON.
I have tried to find the 3D layers item in the tools menu but don’t see it anywhere. :o
When you say I must have made 3D layers how would Ihave done that if I only do exactly the same as the video tutorial?
I have cut and pasted the menus side by side to save vertical space. Is the 3D layers item somewhere in here and I am just not seeing it somehow?
When I used a 3D tool did that create 3D layers?
Hi willt!
Creating a 3D tool does not automatically create a 3D layer. My guess is that somewhere along the line, you pressed the ‘New’ layer button to create it.
ps: I notice your image above is really compressed. You don’t have to compress them that much as you are allowed to post an image up to 500 KB in size.
Dude, layers - 3dlayers… same stuff man…
You have a layer, in your image you can see it - and the REC mode is OFF…
THis is why you get this message!
So… go to > http://www.pixologic.com/docs/index.php/Main_Page
And search and read what you need! This wiki is awesome!

I have got this to work. Seems that when working through the tutorial vid certain actions at least in ver4, like StoreMT, turn off the record function. So if you don’t know about the rec function and the tut doesn’t mention this, you start banging your head against a wall. The key is to keep an eye on the rec function and turn it back on when it gets turned off then the rest works as expected. Is this perhaps a minor bug in ZB4? Or maybe the video just forgot to mention this. Or perhaps this changed in ver4.?
Anyway I can now use textures in layers.
happiness…small steps… onward into the night…the mysterious night… 
Thanks everyone
The rec button is new to ZB4
Hey Pimento, thanks for confirming that I was not simply blind. I’m really new to all this so bear with me bro.
