How to remove solder mask from vias in kicad 9

Dear Team,

May I know how to remove the soldermask from vias in kicad layout. I [saw this video in youtube]
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fxdAZLwIgs&list=PLcfX8aehGIkj4ILKO8MZaihARtQ_AzH7M&index=9)

in which he is removing the soldermask from the traces.That is not working perfectly for me because the filled zone shapes are coming in rectangular shape.

Below is my via specification and also the image of the via in which I removed the soldermask using the method in the youtube video.

May I know any other methods exists which clearly removes the soldermask from the vias.

You can also turn off tenting at the fabrication file export stage.

And the order forms of fabricators also give you the choice of tented or untented vias.

I think it was removed from export because it came available in properties.

Thank you .This is very informative

Ah, so it has, according to the docs for 9. I’m still on 8, waiting for 9.0.2 at least.

Thank you .This is working for me because I need to remove soldermask from all the vias.
May I know if I want to remove selectively how I will do it

You should be able to filter by vias select the vias you want to change and then do that it the Property Manager
