Why is Freeze Subtools Button Missing?

I played around with my model and now I am missing the “Freeze Subdivision Levels” button. I have actually 5 SDivs. If I click on Dynamesh I do get the question, if I’d like to freeze sub divs. But the Button to freeze/unfreeze is missing. The “Reconsctruct Subdiv”,“Convert BPR to Geo” and “Divide” Buttons are also missing.

What prevents those buttons showing up? I am lost.

Which version of ZBrush are you using? It doesn’t look like 4R5. Is there a reason you haven’t upgraded?

Thx for the reply. I am using 4R5. Maybe I was a little unclear: If I start from scratch with a new model, all buttons are there as they should be. So I think some settings or workflows before for that model only are the reason why those buttons do not appear.

In that case, you probably have a model type selected that is not compatible with multi-resolution sculpting. For example, if your model is an unskinned ZSphere. While technically you can sculpt such a model and switch between its subdivision levels, it’s still a mesh preview rather than a truly finalized editable object.
