Which version of Z brush are you using and which version is he using?
Maybe your version lacks the feature. Other than that I don't know what to advise, I'm sure somebody can help you.

Silly question maybe, but have you googled your problem? I'm sorry I can't be of any help.

Yes I have, actually found that video during the Googling unless I am asking the wrong question.

Anybody have any idea about what's going on?

Could it be the depth modifier in the brush panel?

I guess that's the temp solution for now, danke!

found this on the zbrush website:

The Z Intensity setting will control the height of the inserted mesh. Keeping Z Intensity at 100 will maintain original height orientation of the mesh. If Z Intensity is set below 100 then ZBrush will reduce the height of the inserted mesh based on this value.
