Zbrush 4 : Masking weird issue

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hi guys,

I have been facing a issue lately.I hope you guys can help me out.

When i am sculpting and in-between pressing Ctrl+Z to undo, the brush changes to mask mode, so i have to press “Q” to come back to the last brush i have used.This happens all the time.I don’t remember this happening before.

Even the interface is also acting strange.In normal case, If i click on “Zsub” button, it should turn off “Zadd” button and turn on “Zsub”.

But in my case, both are on.Only when i move mouse over to the “Zadd” button it updates and turns off the button.

I am using Zbrush 4 on a Windows 7 64-bit machine.Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

Thanks

Edit1: It turns out that, Zbrush was behaving like this because i had customized the interface and when i reverted to the standard ui, it works normally.

Now the question is, all my existing UI changes are gone,how can i get it back without getting into the mess i had been in before?

Thanks

Does your custom UI have custom palettes that you have named? If so then it is possible that these are affecting your UI. What you can try is renaming them with a tilde (~) at the start of the name:

  1. Dock the custom palette in the right or left tray.
  2. Turn on Enable Customize.
  3. Ctrl+Alt+click on the name of the palette and enter the new name starting with ~.
  4. Turn off Enable Customize and save your custom UI.

The tilde won’t appear in the name of the palette but it will stop ZBrush trying to reorder the palette display.
