Severe edit mode problems as well as tool "layers"

Sometimes I have to draw a tool like ten times to be able to insert edit mode or move/scale/rotate and it doesn’t make any sense to me what is going wrong here.

Also when I try to draw say a tool object of a horn onto a dinosaur tool, I either draw both tools at once or if I append the tool I cant do anything with it… I dont understand how to use multiple tools in one scene it always messes up in one way or another and I havent used the program since yesterday so I dont remember exactly all the problems but theres a few when trying to use multiple tools does anyone have a good explanation or tutorial for using multiple tools in one document without having to reset and not want to take the program into a tangible form and throw the program in the trash for not being able to do it?

I see things as photoshop layers and it’s not working out; I tried to add eyes to a model and I only get the eyes drawn the face dissappears there was so many problems trying to use more than one tool per document its unbearable really

I see people in tutorials bouncing through multiple tools or adding eyes so easily yet if I start trying to add a second tool any way they did it everything goes downhill

Theres seems to be some basic design flaws making this program very not user friendly

I’m guessing from reading your post, that you just aren’t familiar enough with ZBrush. You mention that you seen videos of everything working, so it stands to reason that it will work if you spend a bit more time with it.
