Iwas recently experimenting with making adjustments to my Paint Brush tool under the "more" tab next to the "hardness" selector. After unsuccessfully creating a new brush, I reset the options. Now the brush tool does absolutely nothing. Doesn't work in masks, doesn't work by simply trying to paint different colors. Ive triple checked everything, opacity is 100%, flow 100%, Hardness adjustments, etc etc.

please help that picture above showing the brushes panel i do not see at all even when i click the brush ... why is that ... it was an issue i had when purchasing the program ... i cant see any option for brush strokes color etc.


Hello, this is probably something very simple, but I just can't figure it out!!! I was paiting in a pixel mode using brush tool with an Apple Pencil, I often use a two tap gesture with my hands to scroll, and somewhere during this process my brush tool has stopped working. I have tried creating a new pixel layer, choosing a different brush, different color, checked that my layer and my swatch have a 100% opacity, NOTHING works. I have restarted Affinity Designer and even my Ipad with zero results. I cannot paint with my Apple Pencil, I also cannot paint with my own finger... It just doesn't do anything, although in History I do see using paint brush! I'm going crazy here... Eraser and vector brush tools work as expected, this only affects pixel paint brush tool... Can anybody help me out? Thanks in advance!

I'm trying to apply grass to a paintable object. But this is frustrating when I can't control the initial brush size. All that's showing is a line, but before I was able to see the grass as I was applying it. How do I get it back?


If you stuck somewhere in Maya you also could try a reset of your preferences.

Rename the folder prefs in folder 2017 to something like prefs_backup, or to reset everything, the folder 2017 to 2017_backup. Maya creates new folders. Detailed at:

I haven't previously opened 3D paint effects for this particular project. I screenshot what it looks like below. There's a red circle but there's that error you can see at the bottom and I can't pain on said object. I'm confused. Is grass considered a 3D paint effect? Before, I've just been going under Paint Effects >> Get Brush and then selecting a grass.


As for adjusting the global scale in paint effects (2nd screenshot) I can see the grass here, but when I paint a second stroke the global scale goes back to zero. Is there a way to keep it the same size so I can see the grass as I'm painting?


I have never used processing before and started learning it a bit to help a friend in their course as they have never done any coding before. One of the assignments was to make a simple paint tool that lets you change the color and brush size that you are using. To do this we made a sidebar at the bottom that had all of the color and brush size options which worked fine. I decided I wanted to try moving the brush sizes to a separate sidebar on the side so that there would be more room for more color options and more brush sizes.


The issue I have run into is now whenever I click one of the brush sizes both sidebars get completely filled in with whatever color I have selected. This completely covers all of the buttons in both sidebars so the user can't see the icons to change colors or brush sizes anymore. I cannot figure out what it is that is causing this issue and everything I have tried to change so far hasn't changed it. I'll attach the code and screen shots of program running to better illustrate what I am trying to describe as I am aware I may not have been super clear. Any ideas or help is super appreciated!Program on start up


Once you call stroke()/strokeWeight(), by default, the settings are applied globally. When you selected the thickest stroke, currently, everything else in the sketch will have the same stroke weight.


When you attempt to use the Brush Tool and set it to "Basic" what actually happens when you start to paint is the brush changes automatically to a calligraphic brush. Because... "Basic" is not a brush. I'm not meaning to imply you are deficient in any way for not knowing this.. Adobe is for putting "Basic" in the brush panel.


You opened a raster image in Illustrator. Doing this means the Brushes Panel is empty, other than "Basic". Therefore there's no calligraphic brush for Illustrator to automatically switch to. So, you can't paint. Gotta have an actual brush for the Brush Tool, not "Basic".


i have same problem and solved . its for the file type . if your file is .dfx or dwg or some other types brush not work becuse dfx or dwg types are based on spline and dfx just support polylines .create new page and copy all things and fixed :)


It is still not working. Apparently, when I double click it, it is not a "LAYER" it is a "FOOTAGE PANEL" and I think that can be the problem. Do you guys have any idea how can I change the footage panel into layer panel? Note: even if the file is only jpeg, or even if I add new solid layer, when I double click, IT IS STILL a "FOOTAGE" layer. Really need your help.


Double-clicking a Layer in the Timeline provides different results and is dependent on the type of layer you apply the double-click on. If the layer is a normal layer (not a nested composition) then the Layer Panel will be invoked and the layer will be displayed. If the layer you double-click is a nested composition, then the nested composition's original/source composition will be invoked. If the layer being double-clicked has its Collapsed Transformation or Continuously Rasterize switch enabled, then double-clicking on such a layer does nothing. This is the case since AE prevents such layers from appearing in the Layer Panel.


Further, if you select any one of the following tools, Refine Edge, Rotobrush or Paint and you double-click on a layer, even a nested composition, the Layer Panel will appear. Off course such layers must not have their Collapsed Transformation or Continuously Rasterize switch enabled.


I did a quick search on this and didn't find anything related. Make the paint brush tool a possible selection when CYCLING through the tools. Most people know you can hold shift and right click to bring up the tools palette but that requires you to move the mouse and click to choose the paint brush. The same people probably know that by pressing the tab key you can cycle through the tools (if automatic tool selection is unlocked). I know I'm getting kind of picky, but I prefer to do any action possible with the keyboard instead of the mouse (within the left side of the keyboard anyways).


When using paint tool in segment editor, the brush diameter can be controlled by holding shift key and scrolling (in addition to using the arrow keys on the UI). I would like the jump in diameter when scrolling to be much smaller than the default. Could this feature be implemented by using a python script that listened for scroll event and overrides the default behavior? Or maybe there is a more direct way?


I am using the paint tool to segment abdominal aorta on many slices. Using the arrows on the interface to adjust diameter takes too much time and having this feature would greatly speed up my workflow.


Shift+mouse wheel is for gross adjustment of the brush size. For fine adjustments, zoom in/out the image (by default, brush size is defined in screen size, so brush size relative to the image depends on image zoom factor).


Thanks for your reply! That is very helpful. I think I will use one of those automated methods you listed. However, I would like to also implement an override to the default resizing of brush size. The idea is to have two keys that when pressed will increase/decrease the brush diameter by a pixel size I specify. To do so, I need the ability to programatically change the diameter. Using other posts on this forum, I figured out how to change BrushSphere parameter with below:


We introduced brush size defined in screen size exactly for this purpose: we realized that every time we decreased brush size we always had to zoom in as well. So, if you use brush size relative to screen size option (default) then you just need to set an approximate brush size once (dictated by how accurately you can move your mouse pointer) and you do the fine brush sizing by zooming the image in/out.


While the code serves its functional purpose, the last remaining bug is that after running this code you can no longer use the UI of the segment editor widget to change the diameter. The diameter is held to whatever is programatically set and neither using Shift+Scroll nor the UI can change it. I figure there must be some way to release the effect back to the default but not sure how to do this. If you have the time would appreciate how I can eliminate this last bug.


Hi All,

I would like to also request the addition of the existing Sample Paint (Eyedropper) tool from the Materials tray be added to the Tools Menu (under Paint Brush) and allow, more importantly, a shortcut to be assigned in Sketchup Preferences.


In my workflow, On a particular project I reuse the same Materials over and over after I set a palette of materials for the project. The availability of a Sample Paint shortcut would substitute one Shortcut keystroke for: a Shortcut (Paint Bucket) keystroke & diverting my attention from the geometry I am working on & a mouse click (to select the Sample Paint icon) from the Materials tray & moving back to my geometry.
