Click the cluster again to delete it.<br \/>Like the geometry they represent, UV points can be connected to form a larger shape referred to as a\u00a0UV shell\u00a0in Maya, a\u00a0UV island\u00a0in Softimage, and a\u00a0UV cluster\u00a0in 3ds Max.<br \/>Despite their different names in different applications, they serve a common purpose. Often when working with these shells, some of them may overlap in the UV editor. If this happens, the texture will appear to repeat. Unless there is a specific need for it, as there sometimes is with game textures, overlapping UV shells should generally be avoided. <br \/><strong>Mark seams:<\/strong>\u00a0Let\u2019s mark a discontiguous set of connected edges. Mark seams on the UV-Map. CTRL+LMB unmarks a seam. <br \/><strong>Edge loops:<\/strong>\u00a0Select and marks contiguous edge loops on your topology. Mark entire edge loops on the UV-Map. Use CTRL+LMB to unmark them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The option &#8220;Extended edge loops&#8221; in the edge tools tool (uv\/retopo), useful if you have &#8220;approximate&#8221; edgeloops and need to mark seams. Super useful for making seams over triangular mesh.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"741\" height=\"636\" src=\"https:\/\/3dcoat.com\/documentation\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/advance_edge_loops.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9321\" srcset=\"https:\/\/3dcoat.com\/documentation\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/advance_edge_loops.jpg 741w, https:\/\/3dcoat.com\/documentation\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/advance_edge_loops-300x257.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 741px) 100vw, 741px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><br \/><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/A_JTJjUDnTg?list=PL0614F2A03AD725CD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">UV Path<\/a>:<\/strong>\u00a0Allows the selection of vertices interpreted by 3DCoat to provide the path for a connected series of edges. Put a path along the shortest path (under certain criteria) between several points. Click to add points or split lines, use RMB, or double-click to remove points. Press ENTER to mark seams, and CTRL ENTER to delete seams. Use different criteria to adjust path flow. <br \/><strong>Join Clusters:<\/strong>\u00a0Hover the seam between the clusters and click to remove the whole seam and join clusters.<br \/>If the highlighted seams are red, the resulting summary islands have self-intersections or too big square trash. If it is green, the summary island has no self-intersections, and square trash is no more than 1\/2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tutorial\">Tutorial<a
