Open edges seems to be locked - can I unlock?

Hi!

Say I have an open area where the eyes are. Or its a bust, and the loop along the neck is an open edge.

they seem to be locked; I can only move them using the move brush. But I cant smooth or so.

Is that normal? Something per default?
Are there any settings I can change to be able to unlock?

Hi there, I seem to have the same problem when sculpting especialy thing’s like planes for cloth such as drapes/ capes and it’s hard to work with because u can’t smooth open edges etc. Thats why I always give my cloth depth with no open edges (closed plane / thin cube instead) before I sculpt to avoid this problem.

I don’t know whether there’s a solution, but if there is one I’d love to figure this one out as well.

Hi, and thanks.

I guess thats one of the workarounds available. I know that I would’ve done like you explained if I want total control of the area where the open edge should be.
Eg, I wouldnt have an open eyehole, but rather a sculpted one.
And same with the neck - I would create polygons on the backside, like in a real bust.

So lets wait and hope someone knows more about this.

ps. I realize I might have posted this totally wrong - so if an admin these this and thinks this post belongs somwhere else, please move it.
Sorry!
