Hi all,

I've got another question: Is there a way to restrict Fit UV's function to the selected shading domain only? It's a bother to have them all reset when I want to fit just one.

Alternatively, is there another utility when I can have access to similar UV manipulation functions and do the auto-fitting separately for selected domains? Hexagon? What would I have to do to achieve this?

Thank you!

"Fit UV's" is a good option when you really want to quickly place all geometry with the coordinates. However, there is not a way to use it selectively. 

Instead, after your domains are created, select each domain you want to edit and use the Projection function with only those specific polygons selected. The will auto fit to the UV space with the projection mode  you've selected.

Thank you, Mark.

The problem in my case is that my model is already UVmapped for most of the domains and it's much better than any projection Carrara can offer. However some domains could really use some fitting and when I use the FitUVs option those domains look great, while the well-mapped ones get messed up :(. Also, when FitUV's tries to fit all domains, it tries to also somewhat keep the relative scaling, and that is something I severely don't need in this case, therefore, I am looking for a piece of software which would let me fit the uvs to the working area without messing up other domains...

Would this be a useful feature to request from DAZ? It seems that the algorithm is already there, it would just need to be apllied to a subset of UV's....

Even in other 3D packages I use, modo, LW, C4D, Fit UVs is a universal command. The only other option is to simply manually scale and manipulate the desired domains.

Thank you! That is useful to know.
