Hey, I was wondering if it is possible to flatten all the shells in the uv mode without doing it shell by shell pressing "F" over every single one individually. I have been looking around and there seems to be some solutions to it by hovering your mouse in a blank area, press "F" and drag a selection box over the shells you want to be flattened. This doesn't seem to work. The only time this works is if you do it by pressing Shift + F and this would do bloat and flatten on multiple shells. However in my situation I do not want to bloat out the shell, only flatten it. Is there a solution to this or have I just been doing the wrong thing?

"press "F" and drag a selection box over the shells you want to be flattened. This doesn't seem to work."

If you do the F-box thing, they are flattened (turned from 3D shells into 2D flat shapes), but they aren't optimized. To do that also, pick the shells first (LMB drag a box over them) and click the "Run For" button in the Optimize panel.

The reason we don't optimize automatically on the F-box thing is in case someone doesn't want the optimizing.

Ooooh wow thanks! I had a bunch of different shells that were flattened fine but their uv resolution for each were all different so I had to flatten each on individually before. Cheers!
