Can't paint on tilemap

Good afternoon,

I cannot seem to paint on the tilemap. I’ve put together a small video to show this problem. Without solving this I can’t seem to progress further in the 2021 Unity 2D course. I didn’t have this same issue in the 2018 course… not sure what’s causing this problem.

The issue happened after changing the pixels per unit to 32 from 100. I was able to paint 100 size tiles, but now I can’t paint anything with the tilemap. The issue only appears to affect the tilemap process.

Tilemap Paint Problem

For anyone who encounters this problem, the solution appears to be to delete the Tilemap grid and tilemap, then start over. There appears to be a glitch with Unity where once you change the pixels per unit “after” you create the tilemap, Unity can’t paint into the grid, even if you change back to the previous size. You must set the pixels per unit “before” creating the tilemap grid and tilemap.
