Hello all, 

I'm having an issue inside ZBrush. I was working on a stylized building when suddenly ZBrush crashed. Nothing was lost, I re-opened the file and I could continue my work. But for some reason ZBrush now changed the document resolution. Originally, I was working with 2240 x 1680, but now it's set to 1507 x 936. 

I tried to resize the document, which worked, but I'm unable to edit the model, because the edit-button is blanked out. All I can do is spawn the object onto the canvas again, yet my model is already there.
I'm unsure how I can work at my original document size again... Your help is greatly appreciated.

    Just set the document size you want, clear any existing pixols (Ctrl+N), then redraw your tool onto it so you can enter edit mode. It helps to have the DragRect stroke type active for this, as it will decrease the chance that you'll accidentally click on the document before being able to turn edit mode on.

    That worked wonderfully. Thank you so much!

    It seems like I still have much to learn about ZBrush's interface / main functionality.
