Creating Elements in Sketch: Using Masking in Sketch
Biz Library
Updated Sep 04, 2018Using Masks in Sketch are used to selectively show parts of other layers. Any shape can be turned into a mask, and vice versa any shape can be masked. Looking into your Layer List, you will notice that your mask will always be at the bottom, with indented lines suggesting that it has a parent mask presenting itself. If you don't want all subsequent layers to be clipped, the best way you can do this is allow the mask to be ignored. In order to do this, go to menu and chose Layer > Mask > Ignore Underlying Mask while your layer is selecting. Alternatively, you can right-click to get this option as well. When you double click inside of a mask you will see the ghost lines around the mask to showcase the size of the layer that is being masked.
