Zbrush Help!

Drowzera

I started studying Zbrush a couple months ago, you can see that Iam still a newbie hahahaha. Iam  trying to sculpt a human skull  to learn more and get better!! But, Iam trying to do some sort of subtract which is not working, and I don't know how to solve it!! To sculpt the cheekbones of my skull I need to make a hole in the back of it, I tried doing so with the "InsertCylinder Tool", but when I try to cut the cylinder off, it doesn't  work. I reckon that  I need to hold CTRL+ Left Click two times, to subtract the cylinder from the skull, but it's not working. I Would like some help!!! hahahahah

You're still on 4r7 why?  There are specific tools to help with this in 4r8.

I don't know, this computer is not mine...    

But what are these tools you mean?

For 4R7, isolate the cylinder(s) and use Tool : Polygroup : Group as Dynamesh Sub. If you use the polyframe view to see polygroup colors, the cylinders should now be white. Then turn on dynamesh, and ctrl+drag to update it. It should boolean the white polygroups and leave you with a cut in the mesh. 

Though as TeriyakiStyle mentioned, 4R8 has some sweet Live Boolean tools that will let you make all sorts of adjustments while previewing the result.

Is zbrush licensed?  Ask the owner of the computer (?) to upgrade to 4r8.  It's free to upgrade with your licensed copy.

I upgraded it to 4r8 already.
