Zbrush whaaaa?

Doctore

Hello all, so I started working on Zbrush after taking some time off to learn a bit of Maya. After working on it for a few minutes, I realized that it still had the same issue that it had back when I began using it on a different Mac. I would begin modeling something and then while rotating, a head will simply past itself onto my grid.. it can't be edited in any way and just sits there like a troll. Anybody know a work around or fix to this? Here's a screen shot..

It's a bug, just hit ctrl + n or what ever the clear canvas equivalent is for a mac

you've somehow placed a copy of your model in to your scene in 2.5D mode.. clearing canvas (ctrl+n) removes the model.. then you just replace your tool in there and keep on truckin'

You need to upgrade to 4R3. R1 had some pretty annoying bugs, I won't even talk about R1...

r3 has quite a lot of annoying bugs too in fairness

I haven't run into any since r3 : /
R2/r2b were bad

Doctore

Thanks a lot guys, I knew it was a 2.5D issue but it gets pretty annoying. Appreciate the help though, I'll see about that upgrade because this happens a lot.

You clicked shift+S which drops a duplicate of your tool to the 2.5D canvas. Ctrl+N will fix it as mentioned, but now you know what causes it.

It may not be Shift+S. The last few versions of Zbrush had a knack for just randomly dropping the mesh to the document just when moving the camera or sculpting. R2b was especially terrible for this, doing it extremely often (and if I recall, dropping older snapshots of the tool instead of its current state). I haven't seen it in R3 though.
