UV
Add Clusters
Use LMB to mark the cluster (UV Islands) center on faces. Click the cluster again to delete it
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]MARK_CLUSTERS);
script: cmd("$MARK_CLUSTERS);
Mark Seams
Use LMB to mark and unmark texture seams. Adjust the 'Segments num' slider to mark or unmark multiple edges with each click
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]MARK_EDGES);
script: cmd("$MARK_EDGES);
Edge Loops
Use LMB to mark edge loops such as texture seams, or un-mark them using CTRL+LMB
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]MARK_LOOPS);
script: cmd("$MARK_LOOPS);


Selected
Clear
Clear the selection
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]ClearSel);
script: cmd("$ClearSel);
Invert
Invert selected elements
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]uvInvSel);
script: cmd("$uvInvSel);
Rotate CW
Rotate clockwise
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]RotateCW);
script: cmd("$RotateCW);
Rotate CCW
Rotate counterclockwise
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]RotateCCW);
script: cmd("$RotateCCW);
Flip U
Flip selected faces horizontally
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]FlipU);
script: cmd("$FlipU);
Flip V
Flip selected faces vertically
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]FlipV);
script: cmd("$FlipV);
Relax
Relax selected vertices (in UV Preview Window)
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]uvRelax);
script: cmd("$uvRelax);
Cloth Relax
Relax UV islands so that opposite edges on edges in quads will get almost the same relation between edges length in space and edge length in UV space. This may be useful for making real things - cloth and soft toys. So, this relaxation type minimizes the edge-length trash.
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]Relax2);
script: cmd("$Relax2);
To Line
Place selected edges along the line
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]uvToLine);
script: cmd("$uvToLine);
Equidistant
Place selected edges along the line and set equal distance between points
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]uvEquidist);
script: cmd("$uvEquidist);
Horizontal
Put edges along the horizontal lines
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]uvHorizontal);
script: cmd("$uvHorizontal);
Vertical
Put edges along the vertical line
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]uvVertical);
script: cmd("$uvVertical);
Edge Loop
Select edge loop (in UV Preview Window)
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]uvLoop);
script: cmd("$uvLoop);
Edge Ring
Select edge ring (in UV Preview Window)

script: cmd("$uvRing);
Set Seams
Mark selected edges as seams (in UV Preview Window)
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]uvSeams);

Delete UV Seams
Delete seams over selected edges (in UV Preview Window)
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]uvClrSeams);
script: cmd("$uvClrSeams);
Relax
Relax faces to decrease square trash. But you should know that decreasing square trash leads to additional stretching, so you should choose what is better to you - square trash or stretching
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]Strict);
script: cmd("$Strict);
Hide
Hide selected faces
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]uvHide);
script: cmd("$uvHide);
Inv. Hidden
Invert hidden faces
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]uvInvHide);
script: cmd("$uvInvHide);
Unhide
Show (unhide) selected faces
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]uvUnhide);
script: cmd("$uvUnhide);
Unhide All
Unhide all hidden faces
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]uvUnhideAll);
script: cmd("$uvUnhideAll);
HD Expand
Expand hidden area.
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]hdExpand);
script: cmd("$hdExpand);
HD Contract
Contract hidden area.
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]hdContract);
script: cmd("$hdContract);
To ABF
(Angle Based Flattening). Use ABF for unwrapping selected islands. Is best suited for organic meshes. ABF tries to minimize angular trash at the cost of the square trash.
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]toABF);
script: cmd("$toABF);
To GU
Unwrap selected islands with 3DCoat's proprietary Globally Uniform UV unwrapping method. This method minimizes the polygons square trash but may lead to bigger angular trash.
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]toGU);
script: cmd("$toGU);
To LSCM
(Least Squares Conformal Maps). Use LSCM for unwrapping selected islands.
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]toLSCM);
script: cmd("$toLSCM);
To Planar
Use planar projection for unwrapping selected islands
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]toPlanar);
script: cmd("$toPlanar);
To Strip
This method is intended to unwrap the stripe of polygons into the straight line.
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]toStripe);
script: cmd("$toStripe);
Copy UV
Copy island to clipboard (use CTRL+C). You may select other island and paste it there. In so way you will exactly put one island over other one
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]CopyUV);
script: cmd("$CopyUV);


Commands
UV Settings
Setup islands packing area and minimal distance between islands
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]UV_Settings);
script: cmd("$UV_Settings);
Clear Clusters
Clear all UV cluster (also called UV islands) and seams
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]ClearClusters);
script: cmd("$ClearClusters);
Clear Seams
This option clears all seams from the object
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]ClearEdges);
script: cmd("$ClearEdges);
Auto Seams
Clicking this option creates all the required seams automatically, using a best guess approach based on the shape of the object. Newly created seams can still be selected or removed using the 'Mark seams' work mode
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]AutoEdges);
script: cmd("$AutoEdges);
SharpSeams
SharpSeams_HINT
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]SharpSeams);
script: cmd("$SharpSeams);
Unify UV
Move all faces to the current UV-set. If need you may delete remaining empty UV-sets using "Delete unused UV-Sets".
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]UnifyUV);
script: cmd("$UnifyUV);
Unwrap
Fit all islands onto the UV map
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]Unwrap);
script: cmd("$Unwrap);
AutoMap
This is exactly same method of unwrapping as used in import dialog for automapping. It is planar mapping with test of clusters self-intersection. This method is most stable and eats any (even nonmanifold) geometry but creates too many islands.
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]AutoMap);
script: cmd("$AutoMap);
Pack UV
Pack current set of clusters on the UV-plane. No unwrapping performed, only packing will be done. Press CTRL to shuffle
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]PackUV);
script: cmd("$PackUV);
Shuffle/Pack
Pack the current set of UV islands in the UV set, overlapping islands will be shuffled. No unwrapping performed, only packing will be done
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]ShuffleUV);
script: cmd("$ShuffleUV);
PackUV2
Pack UV islands without rotation and flipping. They will be only scaled and moved to for better packing. Press CTRL to shuffle
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]PackUnf);
script: cmd("$PackUnf);
Auto Scale
Auto scale all islands to have equal proportion between square in space and square in UV-set
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]AutoSc);
script: cmd("$AutoSc);
Upd. Islands
Update island connectivity. It you have marked or erased several seams on the mesh UV-Map will not be broken into islands immediately. You need to update islands to split or connect existing islands
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]UpdateIsl);
script: cmd("$UpdateIsl);
Restore UV
Restore the UV's from the mesh in Paint room. This synchronizes both rooms
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]RestoreUV);
script: cmd("$RestoreUV);
Apply UV-set
Apply the currently defined UV-set to the model
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]ApplyUV);
script: cmd("$ApplyUV);
Save
Save UV information to a file. This option saves the marked or unmarked seam and cluster information in the current scene so it can be edited later. It does not export the final UV-Map. Use the 'Import/Export textures' dialogue in the File menu for that
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]STORE_UV);
script: cmd("$STORE_UV);
Load
Load previously saved UV information from a file
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]RESTORE_UV);
script: cmd("$RESTORE_UV);
Save Contour
This command allows to save contour in real scale as EPS or DXF for further laser cutting. Length of lines corresponds to geometrical length. It is helpful if you want to cut shape using laser cutter and glue parts together
toolset: tools_tem("[uv_mapper_tool]rLazerCut);
script: cmd("$rLazerCut);
