trouble with retoping via zshare

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

I getting really tired and frustrated by weird technical issue I stumble across every corner with this software.:frowning:
1 zsphere
2 select >rigging >select mesh
3 topology >edit topology
I’m using this method for retoping
every time while am half way through the process of retoping all or some points just refuses to move why is it happening no matter brush size they just refuse to move I can see the undo bar increasing every time I try to move those point BUT IT WON’T MOVE after several attempt I’ve notice that while symmetry on avoiding to make up the piece or the polygon from the center would prevent this I’ve no idea why for some reason the longer I wait the better it will be it’s so frustrating

EDIT: and also this happens every time I und something, or an autosave happens. either of these or all of these make points rigid It’s really getting on my nerve

EDIT2:I think I narrowed it down to auto save every time it happens some points become inert seriously nobody encountered this bug or trouble ?

#2

Most people don’t do manual retopo inside of Zbrush.
It sounds like your points are being masked, try to clear the mask and see if that fixes your problem. (tool>masking>clear)

#3

Try clearing the mask, Ctrl+drag off the model.

Sometimes Zbrush puts a mask on but doesn’t show up with the masking color.

thank you so much beta_channel MentalFrog that explains alot! I guess it’s obvious that while retoping you’ve press control if you want to add new geometry to a vertex which is drawn before. it’s a little over sight but really developer should give bit of attention to these clashing shortcuts :slight_smile: thank you guys.
