Noob Question: Make Polymesh3D Lost Project!

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Noob Question:

I created a new Polysphere for the interior of a mouth as a Subtool.
I then clicked Make Polymesh3D by mistake and lost my whole project and couldn’t undo the operation.

I can’t find my sculpt anywhere and have to redo from the last save.

Is there a place where I can find what I was working on or is that undo-able operation and without any warnings going to just wipe out my project?!

Thanks

MakePolyMesh3D creates a new Tool in the Tool palette. It never destroys your original Tool, which is still there in the Tool palette and can be selected again. The sole exception to this would be if you quit the session without saving that version of the model, in which case the original Tool would be lost.

You may be able to find a more recent version of the file in your QuickSaves. Check the QuickSave tab in LightBox to see.

Thanks for the reply.
I did check the tool menu, the recent menu and the lightbox and I couldn’t find the sculpt anywhere. It was as if I just opened zbrush

I’m new to this as well and came across the same issue. How do I get back to my original sculpt before I hit the Make Polymesh3d btn?
