Having problems with Walkable Areas

[Amoeba]

I've started dabbling with AGS, and I'm currently in the process of making a practice-game.

I've followed the tutorial pretty much to the letter. I'm currently in the process of creating the walkable areas, but the editor won't let me draw them. It keeps saying that I'm using the eraser, which I'm not. I've tried using both the right and left-click, but it keeps saying the same thing. Any suggestions as to why it does this/ how to fix it?

Now, I'll give using masks a go, but it would help to get this problem solved, since it would kinda speed up the process.

This is pretty commong.... "problem" (had it myself at first and saw at least one other person during the last two or so months).

Make sure you select "Walkable area ID 1" (or higher). The eraser message appears when you're working with area ID 0.

When I left-click (while having selected Walkable area 0, i.e. erasing stuff), the popup tells me
"You are currently using the eraser. To draw new areas, change the selection in the list above the Properties Pane."
And this is exactly what you're supposed to do. In the dropdown list, choose "Walkable area ID 1", then try again.
