use a model or subtool as a guide/reference for scultping on top of

Hi all,

I’m sure I’m missing something really simple here but having no luck with Google, I have a really rough base mesh that i would like to import then use as a guide to sculpt using zspheres over, in Maya I would put it on a display layer and make it a reference only, but not sure what to do in Zbrush at all, when I import the model then try to use zpheres the model disappears - any advice?!

You just need to append the zsphere as a new subtool to the mesh you want to use as a guide. With Transp mode on but Ghost off you can click+drag zspheres onto the surface of the reference model.

i forgot about appending, doi! thanks i got it
