Drawing a zTool at same size

YakZSmelk

I'm wondering if there is anyway of 'drawing' ztool over and over again at the exact same size? I know I can use snapshot which does work but I'm looking to see if there's a better method.

In particular I'm curious about this for tile able architectural textures (brick, stone, etc.)

I am also curious on how to do this as well.

As far as I know the only way is with an IMM brush by holding Control it will snap to your draw size. But I find it's not perfect. I had a vertical sized document where the max draw size was limited.

Check this video if you want to try this method.

It's Part 2.

The other problem with this is it only really works well with basic shapes and ones that are not rotated. Because matching the rotation would be hard.

You could simply duplicate the subtool.

I havn't tried this but you could potentially record your stroke and replay it for each mesh you want to draw out. This should work on insert meshes or the 2D canvas.
