Hey Paul Carmelo Cunanan ,

Make sure you are doing the following:

  • Have two objects selected
  • Make sure the object that is on top is the object you wish to mask over the object below
  • Make sure you only have two objects selected and no more.

From the error you are getting it seems that you only have one object selected. Make sure you have both objects selected.
