Hi headd, What Max version do
Hi headd,
What Max version do you use?
I have disabled the soft selection for Max 2012+ because they are already integrated in the Unwrap editor, and I thought it would be confusing.
Other tools are also present in Max 2012+ but PolyUnwrapper may offer some different settings.
Soft selection is grayed out,
Soft selection is grayed out, no matter what i select or do. Any idea ?
Currently, it is possible to
Currently, it is possible to render the different selected models, but rendering the elements of each model is not yet implemented.
Hi! I'm having trouble
Hi!
I'm having trouble outputing an image that shows the uvshells with diferent colors for each model part.
What am I doing wrong?
stealthx, Thank for your
stealthx,
Thank for your suggestion. I have it actually under development.
The reason I did not release it in this version is because it is not working as it should, but I got several request to include a Stitch feature, so I included the basic version. Hopefully I will get the multiple selections Stitch for next release.
The algorithm I am working on does not support multiples shells though, but you can select several edges in one shell and stitch them at one.
one click stitch
Nice script! I have an idea request how to speed up basic stitch function. It would help a lot. Would it be possible to make stitch function working even if I stitch more than one group of polygons? Sometimes I have 60 or more pieces to stitch and only way to have best result is to stitch one by one by hand. Would it be possible?

I had the same Issue, but
I had the same Issue, but it's not related to this script.
Basically you just have to Assign another key to this command. Sadly Space doesn't respond well for shortcuts.
Autodesk bug - shortcuts
The bug related with hot keys in the unwrap window is old at least three years. I used to use spacebar to "Select By Element UV Toggle" a lot. But today in three last versions of 3ds it works only if you are out of unwrap window focus (click in the 3d viewport).
This bug as a present from autodesk slow down work a lot! Maybe everybody should report this to the autodesk and maybe in next update or next few years it will work again.
Thank you for such a great script!!!
