Instead of the Windows Ctrl key, Apple systems use the Command (Apple) Key. This documentation will always refer to using the Ctrl key name, although it may sometimes list both as Ctrl/Command. When the Ctrl key is mentioned anywhere in the documentation, a Macintosh user will want to use the Command key instead.
The same is true for the Windows Enter key, which the Macintosh calls Return. When seeing the Enter key mentioned anywhere in this documentation, a Mac user will want to use the Return key instead.
The Close/Quit, Hide, Minimize, and Maximize buttons are located on the top right in Windows and at the top left on macOS.
ZBrush is available in multiple languages and will attempt to match its language to that of your operating system, if available. You can change the language at any time in the Preferences > Languages sub-palette.
If you wish to translate ZBrush for your language, please refer to the Multilanguage section of the ZBrush User Guide and contact maxon.net/en/support-center.
