Mesh Extraction With Visibility
From ZBrush Info
Start with the shoulder-guard. Using the new lasso function, we can simply hide everything except a section of the warrior's shoulder, and then extract the shoulder-guard with Tool:SubTool:Extract. The new mesh is a subtool of the full mesh, which can be manipulated independently or separated into a completely separate mesh.
To lasso a selection as shown below:
- If necessary, press Ctrl-Shift+M to toggle from standard select to lasso mode.
- Hold down Ctrl-Shift while dragging out the selection.
Lassoing (left) lets us easily hide everything except an area of the shoulder (middle), and pressing Tool:SubTool:Extract produces the shoulder-guard (right). The new mesh is a subtool of the full mesh, but it can be worked on completely independently, and can be separated out into a standalone mesh, if so desired.

With the basics of the shoulder-guard made in a matter of seconds, the details can be sculpted on in just a few more minutes.
