MASK "Subtract" and "Add" Options missing

[filmspezialist]

I am using AFTER EFFECTS CS6 (11.0.4.2) on Windows 10 (64bit).

When creating a MASK no scroll down menue appears which gives you options like "Subtract" or "Add".

Any solution to that problem?

Solved the problem myself: I did not define the mask correctly. It was still open. Once I closed thze masking path the options to subtzract or add appeared.
