Toggle Layers Turns Object Black?

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Has anyone else experienced the annoying issue of zbrush wanting to keep turning your current subtool BLACK every time you toggle any of your layers (or stop recording one)? Even if the object is force filled with WHITE, every time a layer visibility is toggled or adjusted COLORIZE gets turned back ON and the entire thing filled with BLACK color.

This behavior creeps into my files after some time working and once it starts I’ve yet to find a permanent solution to stop it. Needless to say this is quite frustrating and makes comparing the effect of layers quickly next to impossible. If anyone knows of a workaround or fix that would be appreciated. Thanks!

I solved all my layers issues by not using them. I’ve had so many small issues like this that they’ve been more hassle to work with than what it’s worth. It’s got potential but there are so many small issues that pop up here and there and some functions won’t work with layers. Hopefully they fix how the layering system works in 4R7 or at the very least in version 5.

yes. . . I get this periodically. It is annoying.
