Advanced UV Maps

Advanced UV Maps section created to have quick access to Object Data Properties — UV Maps. It allows to select the active, add, remove, and rename UV Maps from the list.

If more than one object is selected, you can synchronously work with UV maps of the selected objects.

Advanced UV Maps List

The list can work in two modes: - Multi object mode - Single object mode

List Description

List Color	Individual for every column
Default color	All selectected objects has the same active UV Map, render, same position in the list
Red color	At least one object differs with one of the UV Map parameters

1. Active UV Map status
	UV Map is active
	UV Map is not active

2. UV Map name
Name is highlighted	All selected objects have UV Map with the name
Name is grayed out	At least one object from selection does not have UV Map with the name

3. UV Map count and position status
First or single digit	Number of objects that have UV Map with the selected name
Second digit	Selected objects count

4. Active Render UV Map status
	UV Map is active for render
	UV Map is not active for render

UV Maps Status Detection

Advanced Maps system detects synchronization status of all UV Maps in the selected objects. It is possible to disable some parameters which are not neccessary for you to detect

Duplicate active UV Map 

Duplicate the active UV Map or create a new one depending on the operator’s properties.

Remove active UV Map 

Rename UV Maps

Rename Settings

UV Maps source
Selected	Operates on the currently selected UV Map items in the list
All	Operates on all UV Map items in the list

Options
Find	The text to search for in names
	1) if text is empty then all name will be renamed
	2) if ‘Use Regex’ is set then text must be a valid regular expression
Replace	The text to replace for in matching names found from the ‘Find’ text
Match Case	Search results must exactly match the case of the ‘Find’ text
Use Regex	Replace by regular expression in the ‘Find’ text

Generate UV Map names from template

If you have naming convension for UV Maps in your projects, you can create template preset and quickly rename all UV Maps in one click

UV Map naming preset

Sync UV Maps 

If your model requires UV Maps to have the same postion, name, active or render status you can synchronize them

Copy UV / Paste UV

Allows transferring the UV coordinates between UV Maps.

Copy UV - Copy the UV coordinates of the selection.

Paste UV - Paste the UV coordinates.

Transfer UV

Transfer Modes
Matching geometry	Objects must be of type mesh and must have a matching topology
Advanced	Transfer UV maps by generating an interpolated mapping between source and target mesh elements
Layout	Transfer layout of UV maps from active to selected meshes
