Hello! Loving this tool. Is there a way to automatically lock paired/symmettrical UVs together? For instance, pair the left and right foot UVs together? Or do you need to just flip them and move them on top of each other manually? Thanks!

You can do that with the "stack" function explained in this video.

UVLayout-Beta-v1.11.mov

Although I'm confused on how, once you have them stacked, you can keep them that way and select both shells as one? Right now, if I have to move them, or anything, I have use the stack function again to pair them back up because I can only select the top shell in the stack. That'd be a pain on a "tall" stack. Say with 8 finger nails (or toe nails) in it Rolling Eyes

Thanks! Is that video still on the site? I could only find 1.1, 1.5, and 1.3. I found some other posts that reference it, but no active link. Thanks!

Sorry. On the bottom of this page are all of the vids. Also 1.15A and 1.15B will be helpful. I just watched them myself. I'm a bit of a noob too and I'm still learning and working my way through the vids.
The more I learn the more amazing this tool becomes.

You could also use the newer Symmetry Find tool, which you can see in the v1.17 video. The older symmetry/stack functions only "lock" the shell boundaries, when the new tool pairs up internal UVs as well.

PS. Oops, sorry, just noticed that the little info popups on the videos list is broken. Normally you can use that to get a summary of whats in each one.

Phil,
What about "locking the stacks together" so everything in the stack is treated as a single item for locking, unlocking, moving, etc...

Yes, a very good idea, but unfortunately not implemented yet.

Thanks. I just thought that I hadn't figured out how to do it yet. There's a lot I'm still learning.
