But if I exported it to obj and then put it back to blender by import the sculpt works like it should.
Is there a way to kind of convert the object to something so I can sculpt it like in image B without exporting it? I want to save time coz I need to make bunch of this pillars by hand. 
Hi, could it be that the image on the left is not the same location on the model as the image on the right?
same location same object 
Perhaps object scale is not applied on the original?
