Wow that's great Phil, and thanks for all that information! Very Happy

I have to say, UV Layout is way above and beyond all the other UV programs I've tried, including the UV tools in Maya, Modo, 3ds max a ...

If you use Space-F then it just runs continuously until you press Space again... is that what you're after?

Well I guess this shouldn't surprise me any. It seems every time I think UV Layo ...

maybe there's already a way to do this, maybe not.
But when you hit Shift+F and it first unfolds a mesh, it soon collapses and begins refining. It will run for 60 seconds and then stop, but then if y ...

Hiya Phil,

Really? I thought that's *mostly* what the update button was for. Very Happy

At least I always saw it as a dual-purpose tool - for getting both your poly groups and new UVs into the same OBJ fi ...

The action of the old 'Update' button is now (basically) the standard action of the 'OBJ save' button.

Yes, exactly, it will save out an OBJ file.

Hiya,

I recently upgraded to UV Layout Pro 2.08 from 2.06.
The former "Update" button is gone now and I'm just wondering how to transfer my new UVs to an older mesh, or if it's even possible anymo ...

I would like some key combination to switch from the cur ...

Thanks Phil, that worked perfectly! Very Happy

I don't know a better way to describe this, but I'm wondering if there's a way to reset a mesh once it's been sliced up, short of welding it all back together manually.

For example, I have the tors ...

I see what you mean. It's not something I've had to worry about much though, being that I'm always using either very high poly objects or very low, non-SubD objects.

Thanks Phil!

" can I isolate that island so that it is all alone?"

I'm not 100% sure what you mean there, but when you select a material from the list, it green marks those polys, so you can do anything then th ...

I've been wondering, what exactly does UV Layout do when you select SUBD as the UV type, for a new map as opposed to Polygons?

I know we're supposed to use the SubD selection for UV mapping objects ...

" it might take 24 hours."

Yep, I put that there in case I'm on a plane or somehow away from net access. If you catch us during normal office hours (and you did Smile

then its much quicker than that. ...

Thank you Geoff and Phil! Very Happy

I just made the payment - it says it has to be checked first or something like that adn it might take 24 hours.

Anyway I'm glad I finally renewed and I can't wait to ...
