[Zbrush] Snake Hook, how to connect meshes without push back?

OrangeBlueHue · Jul 2019

Kind of a strange question but the picture I provide will clear things up. Basically I'm trying to make a bridge from one part of the mesh to the other and connecting them together via the snake hook tool. However when pull the part of the mesh to try and connect it to the other part, the tool pushes back on the area in which I am trying to connect with. Does anyone know how to solve this issue that I'm having? Thanks.

So I found a workaround, I simply masked the area from which I was pulling from and it allowed me to push the geometry into the mesh without any problems. However if there are others way to go about this then please do post them.

There's also a mask by polygroups feature. Mask the area>ctrl+w to convert mask to polygroup>set mask by PG to 100.

And there's a dedicated Move Topological brush.
