Create mask from / Create shape from .... GONE? (edit : No)

We used to be able to create a mask from a vinyl shape or group.
Similarly we could create a solid from a mask, but the option has now totally gone missing as far as I can see.
None of the issues from the FH4 livery editor were addressed for this game - not even the DIRE camera angles, but many issues were introduced.

I was hoping for so much, though it had to be basically the same, additions and improvements should have and could have been made.
Free camera,
Vinyl texture (matte, gloss, metal etc),
Extra vinyls,
Vinyl placement on windows/lights,
Higher vinyl limit,
. . . I could go on but this is all off topic of my first rant about the missing option.

You can still create masks from vinyl shapes or vinyl groups. I’ve used it multiple times already.

Really? It’s not an option that I was able to find.

It’s the same as before apart from being renamed… create shape or something.

This is the problem with going to icons instead of text labels in an interface. The meaning of the pictograms is not always obvious:

Yet another reason why I’ll be sticking to FM7’s editor, LoL!

I figured out how to do it … It is nested within the mask button. BUT, It only works on a group of mask items (or just a mask shape). I’m having trouble remembering if that was the logic in fh4 or not … But yes, thanks for posting because I was going mad trying to figure that out!

It doesn’t have to be a group, and it’s called Create Layer.
