Manual installation of GoZ files
Before resorting to a manual installation of GoZ:
- Try first to follow the Upgrading steps with a fresh install of GoZ.
- Do a force re-install by using the function of the same name, found in the Preferences > GoZ menu.
Should upgrading or forced re-installation not work, please follow the appropriate steps below for manual installation of GoZ.

There is a “scripts” sub-folder directly at the root of “[My Documents]\Maya”, but there is also one “scripts” sub-folder for every Maya version. For example, in sub-folders “2009”, “2009-x64”, “2010”, …
- In each “userSetup.mel” file found, open the file with Notepad.exe and inserts this line at the beginning: eval(“source \“C:/Users/Public/Pixologic/GoZApps/Maya/GoZBrushToMaya.mel\””);
- If you did not find any “userSetup.mel”, then copy the file “C:\Users\Public\Pixologic\GoZApps\Maya\userSetup.mel” into the “scripts” sub-folder within the “[MyDocuments]\Maya” folder.
