Preset

Preset can be used if you want to activate multiple layers at the same time and set a specific layer to record.

It can be useful when you are sculpting facial blenshape and you have additive blenshape where as a layer need other layer activated deform correctly.

There are two type of layer preset:

  • Read-only: Located in ZlmData\presets under the Zbrush startup plug folder, this type of preset can’t be edited by the user. This is probably where you want to put a preset file that you want to share with other users.

  • Editable: Located in C:\Users\{username}\zLayerManager\presets. This is the default preset type and this is where the preset file will be saved when you create a new preset.

In the first row, there is a drop down list that show all the available preset file, a + button to create and a - to remove a preset file.

In second row:

  • List of available presets

  • Save button: this will override the current preset with the actual layer configuration (it will remember which layer is activated and recoding so you can apply this preset later).

  • Add button: this will create a new preset with the actual layer configuration.

  • Remove button: this will remove the current preset.

Lastly, there is the most important of all the activate button to activate the current preset.
