I have some model with a lot of uv shell and hard to select. By some reason, I should select all the flip UV shell. Just like the snap picture, the black wireframe is normal uv shell, the white Wireframe is flip uv shell. when we use uvlayout press L/R Arrow or U/D Arrow to get flip shell.

So, please tell me is there any way to do it by one click or one command.

Not in the current version, but I've just made it so that holding down Shift with any of the keypad arrow keys will flip all shells that are like the one under the mouse pointer.

Which build of UVLayout are you using ... Win, OS X or Linux? I can upload an update with the new feature.

Thanks a lot, Phil
I am glad to know next version will appear this function.
But what I want is not flip all shells back facing.
I want to select all flip shells only, and I will move to other place.

I am using the v2.07, the latest version.

Ahhh, OK, that should be easy to add too ... maybe Ctrl keypad arrow keys to select all the flipped shells, then you can move them using the existing tools.

"I am using the v2.07, the latest version."

OK, but is that the Windows version?

So I've got it working now ... Ctrl-Shift and the left or right keypad arrows will select all shells with the same flip status as the shell under the mouse pointer. You can then use Space-MMB to move them all to one side.

Yes, phil.

My uvlayout is windows version!

Thanks very much for your reply so quickly.

I want to move this UV shells because some normal texture trouble.

OK, I've run out of time today to build, test and upload the Windows version, but will be able to do it tomorrow. In the meantime, check that you have access to your uvlayout.com Support Extras page, where I will be uploading the new installer. If your support subscription has expired, you'll need to renew that to get access again.

OK, the new installer is now up on the uvlayout.com Support Extras page. To select all flipped shells, move the mouse pointer over the top any flipped shell, then use Ctrl-Shift and either the left or right keypad arrow keys to select all flipped shells. You can then use Space-MMB to move them.
