Hi.
Align tool works on UV islands (shells), not geometry. If you check UV editor you should get the idea clearly. It's like aligning layers in Photoshop for example.
What you're asking is actually vice versa, take geometry in consideration and somehow analyze it before aligning. This has nothing with actual alignment of UV islands and tbh I have no idea how this could be solved for the most of usecases.
You may use stitch or align by edge, but unfortunately there is no completely automatic way that comes to my mind for now.
Hi Nik,
Is it possible to align the UVs of all selected elements/polygons not based on the geometry but based on the texture?
See attached: I'd need to automatically align these.
The align tools (align bottom for example) work only if the geometry is align as well. But if it's not then they remain un-aligned.

- Fix. Checker material errors in some edge cases.
- Removed. Break with offset by ID. Replaced by UDIM Layout by ID.

Right. It would need to take

Ok. Thanks for the reply.
