Hello Everyone,
Today, I’m asking question after question 
I’m trying to mask out the thin mesh. All tutorials are suggesting to turn on the BackFace Automask to avoid masking the back faces. However, it still doesn’t do the trick - the backfaces and the mesh underneath it are masked as well. I’ve also tryind to play with AutoMask Back Face Intensity (100, 0, -100) - it still masks the back faces…
Could you please offer any solutions?
Thank you so much in advance.
Best,
Backfacing masking is masking the back faces in order that you can do other operations as move etc. But this masking doesn’t protect against masking.
Other settings will, as from brush>auto masking>mask by polygroups. If the back faces are a different polygroup set the slider to 100 and the back won’t be affected.
If you don’t have polygroups set you can do it automatically in tools>polygroups> group by normal or group front depending what you want to achieve

Hi Altea,
Thank you so much for answering.
So, the only way to avoid the backface masking is to polygroup front and back faces independently first - do I understand correctly?
Thank you very much.

From I understand yes, in any case to set the opposite face with another polygroup is simple and convenient as can be usefull for multiple operations.
Perhaps there is another way to do that somebody can tell us but this is the only way I know.
