Can't paint on landscape in UEFN? Bug?

I have gotten as far as figuring out how to make and sculpt custom terrain, make an ocean and shape an island this way, however, there is one part that has me stumped and frustrated. No matter what I do, I cannot get UEFN to cooperate with me and allow me to select a material to paint onto my landscape. All of the tutorials out there, including the step-by-step instructions under “Your First Hour In Fortnite - Landscaping Tools” does not seem to account for this issue.

To go into detail, this is what the paint tab is supposed to look like according to instructions. https://d1iv7db44yhgxn.cloudfront.net/documentation/images/877ec942-3602-4ab8-9184-4a7ec8385c86/paint-tools.png
However, in the attachment I am adding, you’ll find that this is not the case. What is going on and how is this fixed?

I have the same problem.

i had something similar but had only 4 layers instead of the 6. after poking at it for hours i finally got them back by changing the landscape material and that loaded all the default layers. i’ll try and find a link to what helped me. its defiantly not intuitive

Hey, it’s been a while. I meant to update this thread and state that an update months ago fixed the issue. I had since been able to paint onto the landscape with the built in tools, which is great!
