I’ve been founding out that masking(Editable Area) is not working for multiple aspects.

1. Adjusting models from “grow from seed” using Paint tool:
  1. When clicking Editable Area - Inside , I’m not able to Paint anything [Video for 1.1 paint tool masking](https://drive.google.com/file/d/128DeXCecw8_vwtJ73N0j5UGjlOrD7e6K/view?usp=share_link)

2. Adjusting models from “grow from seed” using Margin tool:
  1. Asked on another post: [Margin Tool does not change anything](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/margin-tool-does-not-change-anything/46002)

3. After applying model from “grow from seed”, using scissors tool to edit the model
  1. Even though I select Editable Area - Inside , scissors tool still cut out of the mask all the way to “infinity”.
 
 
 
 

These bugs seem to be related, so I just want to bring them to attention. What would be a solution for me in the future when I need the masking functionality? In the post for bullet 2 I see “Python approach”, would that be a universal solution?
