Zbrush: help with symmetry, and alignment.

ignatirabo

Sorry if this has already been asked, I couldn't find anything on why/how to do this stuff. And sorry if my english is bad!

So I have this tool, wich is a sword from Adventure Time. I'm a newbie, I did some lowpoly parts with blender, exported them in .obj format, and then imported them to ZBrush and done some detail.
The problem now, is that I can't seem to find a way to align a subtool, to be perfectly symmetric by the z axis. I want this (well it's a basic thing to want) because when I have Symmetry activated, the changes I do on one side are not the same on the other because of this misalignment.
The only thing I came up with, would be to Delete by Symmetry, and then Mirror and Weld. But I can't get the second step going, because ZBrush crashes as soon as I delete by symmetry. And this happens ALL THE TIME! I don't know how to do fix this, maybe I should reinstall the software.

But anyway, I'll leave a photo to show what my problem is:

Don't be hard on me, I'm really new to all of this!
Thanks in advance!

Are you trying the delete/mirror and weld operations with dynamic subdivision active. If so, then turn it off and try.

Hi! Yes, it was off at the moment, I kinda ignored the problem and used this option I found under Transform > Set Pivot Point.
And are you the same guy from youtube? I started all this because of your videos!
Either way thanks a lot! Next step is to bake those maps, don't know how yet.
Thanks again, Ignacio.

Yes, I am that guy. Nice to hear that my tuts have been helpful. Glad you sorted out your issue.

Make sure activate symmetry is turned off and you don't have anything like dynamesh active. It's a start but doesn't always fix it.
