Painting Ceilings

[Lycramosa]

Is there a way to toggle this on and off? I find that when I'm trying to paint walls, especially with something tall like a cabinet in front of it or above windows, I end up painting part of the ceiling instead. Sometimes it'll paint the next room's ceiling through the wall.

i don't like that you can paint the next room ceiling through the wall though.

It's easy to slip up and paint the ceiling when you're painting the walls above windows, then you have to either paint the ceiling white or just paint the rest of the ceiling. It would help if when you started painting a wall it stayed on walls mode, but I don't recall if that's the case. It would still be easy to click on the ceiling. And painting ceilings into the next room can be annoying. It happens sometimes. The floor tool can have the same issue too.

it is easy to slip and is a real pain in the rump. this would be a great help to switch from wall or ceiling. I agree because its annoying that you have to then repaint the whole ceiling in that room. but as i said before my work around is position on what i want to paint, then be sure to not move my mouse even a 16 of an inch, then hold LMB

An undo button would be handy too. There are often mistakes like placing that wall 1 tile to the side as it likes to move if your mouse moves to the next tile while you're holding the button down. I wish it locked position when you click, for all tools in some capacity.

Yeah, that's what I've been doing too in order to avoid painting the ceiling. I really don't like to have to buy a whole thing of paint to fix one or two ceiling tiles. Sometimes, I think I have it on the wall, but they it paints the ceiling in the next room over instead. Its so weird. I'll just be super careful I guess lol.
