Hi Guys

I'm having a bit of a problem with dividing my mesh, Ive got to the point where I want to go up to about 1 million polys to add detials using the projection master, except the divide box is grayed out and wont let me divide above my level 5 (apporx 20000 polys).

If I import a previous ley saved tool (of the same mode but with less of the sculpt) I can go into the millions with no bother, as i'm new to Zbrush I'm sure that it's something simple (fingers crossed)

Any help is much appreciated.

Cheers

It sounds like you may have divided the model using the Geometry HD subpalette. After you have added a HD geometry level(s) you cannot add to or remove from the standard subdivision levels.

To get around that select your subtool, make sure you are not sculpting HD geometry (Tool > Geometry HD > Sculpt HD) and press Tool > Clone. This will create a clone of the subtool in the Tool palette. If your tool consisted of many subtools you can now delete the subtool with HD geometry and append the cloned version.

As you might have guessed cloning a subtool removes the HD geometry.
