Can I select more than one Polygroup at a time?

Hey Guys and Galls

I have yet another question for all of you Zbrush gurus. So, I have brought my model into Zbrush and have defined my polygroups based off of my UV’s. For example I have my arms separated out into a separate 0 to 1 UV space, the legs in another 0 to 1 space, and the body and head the same way. So, now I can just select the arms by ctrl shift clicking to isolate from the rest of the geometry.

Once all of my polygroups were defined I then selected the arm polygroup and hid one of the arms and grouped visible on the remaining arm. Now I have both of my arms defined by separate polygroups. I like being able to select each arm and work on them individually. However, when I am modeling and using symmetry I would like to have both arms visible.

So the question I have is there a way to select more than one Polygroup at a time?

Please let me know if this is possible. If not I guess I will just have to go back to the original layout, and then when I get to the point were I want to model non symmetrically I will then do my trick with making each arm into its own group.

Thanks again all

First Ctrl + Shift sellect a group other than the arm, say the chest. Then Ctrl + Shift and click on the chest again, it will now bring back the arms but hide the chest. From here Ctrl + Shift and click once on all the other poly groups you you wish to hide untill you have just the arms showing.

Hey Thanks Tez,

I will give this a shot! Hey sorry I just realized that I posted this question in the wrong Forum. I am not sure how to move it the right one. I will try and move it later on today.

Thanks again.

What I do is when I finnaly got both arms showwing, id group visable so your arms can be sellected faster next time. When your finnished sculpting the arms sellect one arm and group it so you have your two original groups back.
