Guide box ends up being sculpted instead of mesh.

(Guide box): The wireframe box we create and loop cut, and position, as a ‘guide’ for the mouth.

Yup just as my title states. I have my guide box made, am fairly certain I followed all steps correctly but for whatever reason, my guide box ends up being grabbed instead of the head mesh. I am not sure what is happening here. I will edit this message if I figure it out.

Edit: Not 100 percent sure about this, but it seems that I needed to press alt-m still back when I was in layout, after that it seems to work fine. If I start from the beginning of the whole process again in the future I will try to add confirmation.

I’m not quite sure I understand what the issue was, I can’t place the term guide box. What did you mean by that? Cool thing you solved it, but maybe you can post screenshots and delve a little deeper at the issue just in case anyone else sees this?

If I understand correctly, you must have jumped to Sculpt Mode with the guide box selected instead of your head mesh.

Thanks for the responses all. @theluthier, that wasn’t the issue. My selection was always on the mesh but for whatever reason if I didn’t use alt-m in layout before entering sculpt mode (regardless of what object was selected) it would cause this issue. @Dostovel Unfortunately I’m passed the point in which I can see that in my current project, but I will try to pull up my old saves to see if I can replicate the issue. And by guide box I mean, the wireframe box we create and loop cut as a ‘guide’ for the mouth. I’ll go ahead and add that to my original comment to reduce confusion. Thanks again, both of you.

I have the same problem going forward of sculpting the mouth, but selecting the same layer and trying to sculpt and nothing moves for me, please help.

Thanks,

Perhaps lock object modes is not enabled?
