so the software keeps crashing, the thud is my head on the desk...

I have a figure, I made a sword, saved it as a tool, now I want to append the sword tool to the figure tool, but everytime I try it crashes like a dummy in a car.  frankly Im F........ P........ Off.

any thoughts as to what I might be doing wrong... cant fathom it myself, though its been one of those days.

Did you hear some really loud thumping last week and the week before? That was my head doing similar things.

For some reason I kept getting that same thing happening when trying to open additional tools in 3.1 recently (had a few crashes in 3.5 too). I don't know what's caused it but it never used to do that before, so maybe a windows update (or some other update to something) is interfering with it somehow.

posted a message a zbrush central...apparently it shouldnt happen... like I couldnt work that out for myself...

so I need to post a support ticket with the models concerned.  but Im not sure they are still supporting the version I have [:'(].  if your still having trouble banj you will need to do the same.

It's not supposed to happen? I thought it was a feature.

Well I'm not using 3.1 at the moment (although I still have it installed - just in case), but if I find I still get random crashes I'll get on to them. 3.5 has been fairly stable, but I have had some crashes with that. I'd need to do a few more tests to see if it was just something I did wrong or not. Let us know what you find out.

I have got around the issue on my female elf, I made a sword at a friends house last night on 3dsmax and it works fine importing it today.  Im guessing it was a problem with my model I was importing.

Ill post an update at some stage.
