Here's one to chew on.

What if, similar to the way the fast weld or Shift-M works UVL could look at multiple edges and position them for auto welding. There would most likely need to be a preview, and the option to continue with the weld.


Sound do-able?

This little video and image shows the type of mesh and how I am approaching this particular task. It's not much fun mate.

Can you think of a good/better way to approach it?

Worth mentioning is that the geometry is not all the same so copying doesnt seem to work in this instance.

I'd be tempted myself to replace the geometry. I looks like something has triangulated all N-sided polys into quads ... I don't think UVLayout is doing it. Maybe if you can find the thing that's doing that, and turn it off, your life will be a little easier.

Anyway, if you had cleaner geometry you'd have much better luck with Copy UVs, and probably the welds too, and anything else I write to automate things based on matching topology.

Yes. That is some rather bad geometry.

I seem to be testing UVL's ability to unwrap shyte meshes.
