Array Symmetry in one click + Convert Tools

ZBrush Macro Pack – Array Symmetry & Convert Tools.

This free macro pack includes 3 tools that make working with Array Meshes in ZBrush faster and more intuitive.

Included Macros:

Toggle Array Symmetry – Easily turn array symmetry on or off along X-axis.

Convert Array Mesh – Converts the active subtool’s array instances into real geometry, preserving subdivision levels whenever possible. If the subtool doesn’t use array instances, the macro functions like a Mirror and Weld, while still attempting to preserve subdivision levels.

Convert All Visible – Converts array instances across all visible subtools in one go.

Why Use These?

Works with subdivision levels & layers – Easily toggle symmetry on or off, even on complex subtools that have multiple subdivision levels or layers.

Clip Brush friendly – Unlike standard symmetry, array symmetry doesn’t break when using clip brushes.

Double symmetry support – Combine with Local Symmetry for powerful multi-axis mirroring workflows.

Time-saving – Replace repetitive, multi-step tasks with fast, one-click actions.

How to Install:

 Unzip the file and drop the contents into:

 C:\Program Files\Pixologic\ZBrush [your version]\ZStartup\Macros

 Launch ZBrush → Macros menu → Reload All Macros → You’ll see a new “APMacros” section.

How to use:

Toggle Array Symmetry: Use this to enable/disable array symmetry along X-axis instantly. It works even if your mesh has subdivision levels or layers.

Convert Array Mesh: Converts the active tool's array mesh into real geometry. 

Convert All Visible: Converts all visible subtools with array instances at once. Make sure to save your project first — this is a heavy action!

Assign hotkeys to the macros for instant access.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

Undoing a macro may require multiple Ctrl+Z presses (they apply several actions at once).

If the macro can’t reconstruct subdivisions (due to complex topology), ZBrush will notify you.

Use with Clip Brushes? Disable brush symmetry.
