Zbrush 4 SubDiv and Layers problems

Here’s my problem…I’ve create a layer on my level 2 and sculpt it. I subDiv to the level 4 and sculpted again on a new Layer.

Now, I can’t come back and edit my level 2 layer because all the layers are greyed…they can only be edited on the highest level even if it’s still a level 2 layer…

If I switch off the record button on the actual level 4 layer…all the other layers becomes level 4 layers…

If I want to create a new level 2 layer, it’s impossible and tells me I have to be on the highest level to create a layer.

So, it looks like it’s impossible to come back on a lower level in order to adjust the basic shape…and all my additionnal subDiv will take control of my layers!!!

Is it a normal feature of Zbrush 4, or is it a bug and I’ll have to be really carerfull in my workflow as I can’t come back on my lower levels to make some changes…

If someone can help on that one, it would be really great!

Thanks!

I’ve experienced similar weirdness while working with layers in Zbrush. As a result I actually have an aversion to using layers at all. I hope this was just ignorance on my part in not understanding how layers are supposed to be used.
