Subtools from Layers in ZB 4? (answered)

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

In Introducing Zbrush, Eric Keller describes how to create subtools from 3d layers (p.261) using the Make 3D button in the Layers subpalette. That seems like it would be a very useful capability. However, I don’t find any Make 3D button in the Layers subpalette in ZB 4. Does ZB 4 provide some alternative?

With the Layer visible, simple mask out the area you want to extract and then press the Tool>SubTool>Extract button.

This method actually gives you more control because you can select precisely the area to extract.
