there is a video called "Pen create Creating a new pen." (last video on the left side)

is it possible to do something like this from a voxel sculpt ?

take a pen, sample the height differences underneath and add it as a brush ?

would be VERY handy if you need repeating forms and patterns

Well, you could just create your "pen sculpture" then File > Export it, then load it back in as a pen by clicking the folder icon in with the other pens.

yes but thats a little cumbersome ... ie if i have a very large mesh and a little detail i like, like a crack or something ... exporting such a big mesh (14mio polys at the moment) wont be something that can be done on the fly ...

Well A. You don't have to export the entire mesh, you can just do the part you want, and B. you can decimate the mesh as you export it so it's not too polygon heavy. I can't test this at the moment, but you could just use the Copy tool to quickly copy the part you want to export to another layer, then export it from there.
