We really need to see the whole interface and for you to show what you mean by “only draw little objects”.

That’s usually what you get when you select a 2.5D brush, but without seeing your whole interface, it’s kind of hard to tell.

From what I’m seeing, is that you might be pressing the T key and coming out of Edit mode and into 2.5D mode. You might need to clear your canvas Ctrl-N and drag out again and then press T or the Edit icon.

But… as Zber2 says, we would need to see the whole UI too try and help.

Notice your stroke is set to spray. Set it to rectangle, draw object and then press t to enter edit mode.

Hi Wyattfox,

I don’t think that’s the case here though. If you have a mesh on the canvas and turn Edit off, then Move, Scale and Rotate are still available. However, if you select a 2.5D brush like the Simple brush, even if you have a mesh on the canvas, the tarnsforms or Edit are not available.

Seriously? If you lost interest in the first problem and you want to start a new problem, maybe you should start a new thread. :rolleyes:

Pay him no mind burimi007, the important part is that you get the answers that help you.


  • In the initial problem, I’d say Wyattfox has the right of it. You need to clear the document and try to get back into edit mode, and the rectangle stroke will make redrawing the tool onto the document much easier.


  • As for the new problem, have you converted the zsphere into a polymesh object yet? I noticed it doesn’t have PM3D_ or Skin_ in the tool’s name, which leads me to think it is still a zsphere. Zspheres have their limits as far as the geometry options go, and even then such changes are usually only temporary and would get reset when you turn off the preview. Your best bet is to turn it into a permenant polymesh by using the Makepolymesh3d button, or using the adaptive skin subpallete.

Your interface is almost all showing :wink: Are you using ZB4R6 P2? Might not hurt to spend a couple more hours reading the documentation. Link below my post. They’re searchable as well as these forums, I’d be surprised if your problems haven’t been encountered before.
