    Being new to zrbush is hard..
    Anyways, I saved my zbrush project, and when i came back to it later, Im all confused. When I left, i had the gun I was working on selected, when i came back, It isn't. I cant go into edit mode (T) and I cant rotate it, etc. how do i select the model I was working on?

    You should ask this on the Zbrush forums not here... However. What you need to do is save a tool (your object), not the project. Then place the "tool" into the canvas then go back into edit mode.

    So if i already saved my object, and closed out I can't continue working on it? And sorry, I saw external tools and the unity forums is so responsive :D

    Unless they changed it, saving the document only produces a 2D image of your model and you'll be unable to edit it again (it saves the pixols). Where as saving the tool will allow you to do this. I haven't used the latest version but that's what it was like in previous versions and it annoyed me to no end losing work all the time when I first started.

    Zbrush comes with some good help documents for this too - and they have some videos that go over things like this on their website - take some time to watch them, will save you hours of head scratching.
