Zbrush 4 Custom UI problem (answered)

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Im trying to build my usual custom UI in ZB4 and Im running into issues. I would load my ui form 3.5 but im scared to do that, when i did that with 3.1 to 3.5 it was a disaster, menus were missing things, half the brushes didnt load into the palette, yadda, yadda,yadda. Anyhow, I cant get Zbrush 4 to save out a ui that loads my brushes the way I want on startup. I want to add the Dam_Standard brush to the bottom of my palette along with my other brushes I have chosen. As long as I choose a brush that Zbrush loads by default on startup it works fine, BUT when I load up the dam standard brush into the brush palette then enable custom ui and ctrl alt drag the brush into the tray where I want it, it will disappear when I restart zbrush. It will stay there the duration of my session but its gone once I restart. Now I have tried to save out a new startupdoc, Ive stored the config, even saved a UI but when i restart its gone. What am I missing here?

and yes Im using the zbrush 4 Dam_Standard brush

Thanks in advance :smiley:

Also I forgot to add, any brush I load up that isnt in the default set at startup is always greyed out.

NM i realized what it was, The Dam_Standard brush was in only one of the brush folders.

So long as your custom brushes are in the ZStartup/BrushPresets folder you will be able to make them part of your custom UI. Don’t have more than 25 custom brushes loading at start up though as more will impact on ZBrush’s performance.
