Hello, I’m completely new to 3d modeling and this app and I’ve been playing around with it the past hours. I’m currently having a problem with my model and masks and maybe it was a mistake on my part. I drew a mask and extracted from it, which caused the rest of my model to be masked and for the extraction to be able to work with. After working with it I tried unmasking the main part of the model but it caused the other area that I was working with to mask itself automatically. I’ve used the clear button and unmasking options several times but nothing seems to fix it. Maybe I can’t change it and it was a mistake on my part since I’m new to this but if there is any way that I can unmask everything I’d love to know. Thank you! ---

Hold the mask button and drag on the background (not on the model) - the model will unmask. You can only unmask selected models. If your model is in several parts then they will need to be selected and unmasked also. ---

No,no, no, no…. it’s what I linked to 😂 But very confusing. So for last time Copied form from manual: #### Quick gesture You can perform zbrush-style gestures while holding the quick masking button: | Action | Gesture (hold lower-left shortcut) | | --- | --- | | Invert | Tap on the background | | Clear | Drag on the background | | Blur | Tap on masked area | | Sharpen | Tap on unmasked area | ## [#](https://nomadsculpt.com/manual/tools#selector-mask) Or use menu. When one of mask brush is active, tap on top left icon. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/nomadsculpt/original/2X/6/66c0e2ec0a7f1165e8fd807c218111a58ef2a192.jpeg)
