Zbrush 2018 split to parts not working?

Irraka

Anyone know why split to parts might not be working? I've imported an obj model that I exported from Maya into zbrush and each time I've tried to split to similar parts it won't work. I've even tried starting fresh maya scenes and putting a bunch of boxes together and exporting that. Same problem.

Yes I have the same problem. Did you find a solution?

There's always the "old" way: run auto polygroups, which will group things based on mesh continuity, then split by groups.

Also not working. I can restart ZBrush and "split to parts" and it works. And if not I restart ZBrush again and then it works. It's completely random if it works or not. I didn't have this problem in 4R8 I think. Weird.

The problem fixed itself for me I dont know how. I even emailed and was talking with zbrush tech support and the never got back to me lol

Try choosing the option 'Group Split' rather then Split to Parts

I have this issue too. The way I make it work 100% of the time is:

Draw out your Subtool.
Edit mode on. (T)
THEN TURN ON Polyframes (Shift+F)
THEN press the Groups Split button.

Boom

nice, poly frame has to be on for it to split
