Where are the “Fill” and “Stroke” options?
Sorry I know this is such a stupid question.
I searched many times and could not find how to let “Fill” and “Stroke” be shown when I press Pen Tool.
I watched many tutorials and the options were shown when they pressed the Pen Tool.
May someone teach me please? -

The pen tool has a duel purpose, it can be the mask tool and there won’t be a fill/stroke, or it can be used to create a shape layer and that will have a fill and stroke.
Create a new comp without any layers, select the pen tool and start making points, the fill and stroke will automatically appear next to your tools.
Now, create a new solid(cntl + y) and mask out a shape, you won’t have a fill/stroke options. You can use effects to create a fill and stroke for that layer though. They are both located under Effect > Generate > Fill/Stroke.
Here’s an example project illustrating the different techniques. 7714_fillandstroke.aep.zip
