@Oleg_Shapo @AbnRanger Thank you both for your replies and for clarifying the situation

Hello All, I hope everyone is happy and well! I'm a newbie to 3d Coat and I'm a little confused as to the workflow. I have an imported a low res model with existing UV's which I modelled & UV'd in Maya and I would like to paint textures on the existing UV maps in 3d coat. As the model is a low res cage for subdividing I thought I would be able to easily do this in 3d coat and then paint the textures on the subdivided model. I firstly imported the model for surface sculpting without voxelization and subdivided a couple of times. I then expected to be able to go straight into the painting tab and paint on the UV Map however there is no sign of the model? The opposite if this is also true, i.e. I load the model into texture painting and go to the sculpting window there is no sign of the model. I can see there is an option to subdivide the model for texturing on import but some parts of the model don't get smoothed. I'm guessing I must be missing something pretty obvious and sorry for the newbie question but i'd really appreciate it if someone can help. I know I could subdivide before exporting from Maya however one of the reasons I purchased 3d coat was because I thought I'd be able to make modelling & UV tweaks without having to go back to Maya, do the tweaks and re-export.
