cant erase entire drawing/ drawing surface dimming

[Kristina Capeles]

Hi, I'm really new to opentoonz and I can't erase what I want to on my drawing, for some reason I can only erase certain parts. Im on a vector layer and right before this issue happened I was zooming in and out to erase more accurately. I also havent created any other levels at all. 

When I selected the level trying to fix the problem the canvas dimmed to grey, I assumed this was because I selected the level on the side but now it wont change back to normal brightness.

With vector, I'm not sure if you're trying to erase a line or a bucket-fill. Erasing a line should be fine as you'll only be erasing certain segments, but if you want to erase part of a bucket fill you can't do that (it erases the entire thing). 

I'm not sure how you got the canvas to turn grey, did you accidentally select onion skin? (at the side with the numbers next to the layers, you can click it and you'll get circles at the sides). You can just unclick the circle and you'll get it back to it's original brightness.

(Not sure if that's the problem, though.)

Is what you are unable to erase drawn in a different color than what you can actually erase on the same frame?  If so, on the eraser tool bar settings, you might have "Selective" checked.  If you have this checked, and there are multiple colors on your frame, you can only erase colors based on whatever you currently have selected in your color pallet.

As for selecting a frame in the Level Pane...whenever you do that, you are switching away from camera view and the drawing area will typically turn grey (unless you changed that setting) as you become focused only on frames defined in that level.  If you had multiple levels, you would also notice that they disappear, but since you only have 1 level, you're only seeing the background change.

Click on the Xsheet Pane (the one with the frame #'s listed vertically) and it will take you back to your camera view, what you are used to seeing.

Hope this helps.
