ZBrush - is it possible to use raidal symmetry with curve brush and have it weld the start/end?

trying to get a closed curve as shown below, but with radial symmetry function enabled, is it possible?



if it's not possible, any workaround for this?

I don't know of any way to do this automatically.

Workaround: make sure the start and end points of the curves match up better than in your screenshot, then use ZModeler to bridge between the segments. Just keep radial symmetry activated to bridge all holes at once (Bridge -> Two Holes target).

well, I came up with a workaround if someone is interested, but still, would like to hear how other people would go about doing it!

so what I did was:
1. use mask pen with radial sym
2. extract the resulting mask
3. polish by features to clean any jagged edges
4. zremesh by half a few times - turn on keep polygroups
5. crease one of the edge loops - this will serve as the guide for the curve
6. frame the creased edge under stroke menu
7. just tap the framed curve with your curve brush
