URGENT!!!! Need help with Zbrush Layers

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hello Zbrushers,

I am currently working on a model and using layers to create it's blend shapes. I created a few blends and then realized that the mesh inside the mouth was a little screwed so I fixed it in maya, exported it as an obj and imported it replacing the existing mesh in zbrush. The blends are working fine on the new mesh but I can't enable the recording on the layers which I had already made on the older mesh. I need to edit one of the layers but I can't since the recording is disabled. Is there anyway to enable the recording on the previous layers in case I need to make some changes to them?

Thanks,
Jaskaran.

layers are quite finicky.

maybe try this:
at highest subdivision level, turn on visibility for the layer you want to continue recording on (layer A), store a morph target (Tool -> Morph Target -> StoreMT)
then turn off and delete layer A
create a new layer
switch to stored morph target - Tool->MorphTarget->Switch

now you’ve recreated layer A, hopefully with recording functionality

hope this helps
