panel loops bug,please help

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Im kinda new to zbrush,so excuse me if this problem has already been posted,why when I try to apply panel loops to my geometry(a cube,cilinder,sphere) with polygroups that I assigned by masking or other methods,when I click the panel loop icon my tool dissapers or zbrush crash!!! could anyone please help me or give a clue why this happens?? I cant proceed with my current project,so any help will be apprecieted

thanks :smiley:

Difficult to say without getting a look at your mesh, but I’d guess it’s an issue with using geometry derived from one of Zbrush’s primitive objects (sphere cube, cylinder, etc). They are parametric, and can have some problematic geometry which causes unexpected behavior in some operations. You could:

  1. If you don’t want to change the geometry, try hiding all but the polygroup you want to run the loop operation on before running it.

  2. “Fix” the geometry by going to Tool > Geometry> Modify Topology > and hitting “Weld Points”. Then, go to Geometry > Mesh Integrity, and select “Fix Mesh”. Your tool may work as expected then.

  3. Dynamesh it, or Zremesh it to get new base geometry. You should be fine to group and panel loop at will then.
