Has anyone managed to customize the ZB31 interface to allow “Symmetry” to be put where they want too?
Every time i close or reload a UI the “Symmetry” and <X> <Y> <Z> buttons that i dragged and saved are never loaded. Is this normal or a known issue, it’s very frustrating…?
I spent hours customizing only to find it won’t save my customizations anyway. Is there anyway to force this? Also is there a way to setup brushes like the ZB3.0 Rapid UI?
many buttons need to have a model in edit mode. for myself i created a startup macro that changes many settings then draws a sphere quickly on the canvas, clears the canvas but has the tool loaded, then loads my custom ui, which then shows the buttons. also are you saving your configuration and ui through the preferences menu?
I have created a custom interface that has symmetry options on the shelf. I can load that interface at any time, but it won’t load the editing functions unless you’re in Edit Mode at the time that you load the interface.
The reason for this is that when features don’t apply to your current choices (like being in Edit mode, or having a polymesh selected) then those interface items do not exist at all. As a result, ZBrush can’t load them into the interface when you load the interface itself.
Here’s my recommendation: Create your interface and save the configuration to ZStartup\UserInterfaceLayouts. Then when you launch ZBrush, work like normal. When you start to do something that needs the layout you created, click the Load Layout buttons found in the title bar (their to the immediate left of the Lock icon). That will bring up the interface you created, and because you’re already in edit mode it will contain everything you wanted it to have.
Thanks for the replies and suggestions, it does seem a little backwards.
I know the Symmetry buttons only appear when editing, but this is the whole idea of customization, so i have them there all the time…
But thanks i will look at making a macro which will do as SpaceBoy412 suggests as this would seemingly be a hackish way of achieving what i need to.
Thanks again.
