> This page documents the **Erase brush** for sculpting in **Cinema 4D**. It resets sculpted areas of the active layer back to neutral — a targeted undo by brushstroke that leaves the rest of the layer untouched.

Use the **Erase** brush to delete sculpted regions of an active Layer, i.e., wherever the Erase brush is applied, the sculpted regions will be reset to a neutral state. No mesh vertices will be moved. This also works on the Base Object Layer if sculpting was done here.

An overview of all available brushes can be found here: [Brushes](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/49929.html.md).
