yes closing the pop up window seemed to help . thanks seems i used to keep it open and have it work fine , but this way is okay too.

Open program /choose voxel sculpting / pick square form, press enter ( program is in sculpt mode) click on camera / background / reference image for Z , choose my image . now all tools make paint on image not sculpting as they used to when i did this . i have done this in the past and it worked fine , why has it changed ?

also it still paints instead of sculpting

I un installed the program reinstalled and i still have the quirk of when I load a square when opening and click on a tool the object disappears what is up with this and i should mention my back ground screen instead of being a darkish grey brown is a drive way scene ?????

when I bring a back ground image into the view some how the program is reverting to all tool creating a paint rather than sculpting , how do i fix this? also when i first start it up and bring a box into the view if i click on a tool the box disappears ? i am starting to get really frustrated with this program as every time i open it there is a new quirk to solve that usually takes an hour or 2 to solve is there some way to un install 3d coat and reinstall as i seem to have so many problems with it and this seems like the best option until some one make a reset button

I am trying to take a model and place it at an angle to the camera and compress it along the camera angle view an example would be I want to take a horse model and turn it to face the viewer at 3 quarter angle and then compress it along that view so that when it is cut out on a cnc I have a true bas-relief I have played with the bas-relief tool and it does not make all the horses parts along the chosen view closer to one plane any one have any ideas ? thanks

sorry none of these options are working

I ended up cheating the system by going to the web and doing a screen shot of a large grey image and then i went to preferences / viewport / back ground image / and chose the grey image / apply / ok this gave me a large grey back ground , for some reason deleting the existing link to the old swirly Image did not default the screen back to normal.

I think we are talking about different thing , the image I am referring to is on the whole back ground of the modeling screen

I am using 4.1.17 and I am in sculpt, at first i had a picture of the item i wanted to sculpt then after a series of button pushing to try to get rid of it I now have a weird swirly fractal pattern . thanks for responding

I accidentally added a background image and now I can not get rid of it , even shutting program down and restarting it does not work ????

I am a new user to 3dcoat , have been using rhino /matrix for jewellery for 10 plus years and use madam for tool patching on a 4 axis milling machine . I am using 3d coat ion a mac as the pc i have for rhino and milling is not connected to the internet for license activation i intend to use 3d coat for smoothing and some model construction for reimport back into rhino. at the moment i am having problems with alphas palette disappearing when i import a obj in and try to work in sculpt, they come back when in paint , how do i reset pallet ? second problem .... the sphere brush disappears some times from the screen when i press control/z for undoing the dot for brush location is there but the sizing option is gone the clicking the screen does nothing . third thing is how do i rest the voxel tool palette ? when the alpha palette disappears sometimes my move tool is gone from the voxel tools and show all tools in section does not bring it back. thanks
