Is there an issue that prevents the undo history from saving with ZPR and ZTL files? The option is turned on under preferences but upon save/reload any undo history is gone. This happens in both 4R6 P2 and 4R7 P3 on multiple windows machines we’ve tested as well as one mac version…
Is this a known problem?
There are three options for undo history saving and loading.
“Preferences > Undo History > Enable Saving” - Make sure this is on
“Preferences > Undo History > Skip Loading” - Make sure this is off
“File > UndoHistory” - Make sure this is on
Also, If you use the quick save function you need make sure that the following is turned off
“Preferences > Quicksave > Skip History” - Make sure this is off
If all of those options are set correctly it should work fine. It does for me anyway on 4r7p3.
Personally though I leave it all off unless I was trying to show someone else my workflow because it DRASTICALLY increases file size of your .ZPR files.
Yep, it was the file/undo history setting that was the culprit. Strange they make you turn it on in two different places (typical pixologic). I was trying to make a progress video so that’s the only reason I started looking into it since as you say it greatly increased file size. Thanks for the tip!!!
mitchfx: you have a preference which is a global setting for ZBrush and the switch in the File palette is project based.
Sometime, you want, for a specific project, not keeping the history while you want to keep it for others.
