---

Filter Islands by Property

Filters islands based on specific properties.

Filter Islands by Property

---

Faces

Select Stretched Faces

Selects faces with stretched UV coordinates

Checks each polygon angle and compares it with the corresponding angle in UV space.
If the angle exceeds the specified threshold, the polygon will be selected.

• Influence - Defines the selection target.
  • Face - Selects individual stretched faces.
  • Island - Selects entire islands containing stretched faces.
• Clear Selection - Clears the initial selection before applying the operation.
• Threshold - Defines the minimum stretch factor required for a face to be selected.
• N-gons Only - Selects only n-gons (faces with more than four edges).

---

Select Self-Intersecting Faces

Select faces that have intersecting uv edges.

When working with n-gons or using third-party unwrapping software, situations may arise where polygons overlap themselves.
This operator allows you to select problematic polygons for further correction.

---

Select by UV Area

Select faces by their UV area. The operator consists of two buttons. Where the first is the main operator and the second is an auxiliary operator. You can use it to get the area of the selection.

• Mode - What should be selected? Islands or faces.
  • Island - Island selection mode
  • Faces - Faces selection mode
• Clear selection - Clear the previous selection.
• Condition - The conditions under which the selection will be made.
  • Zero Area - Elements with zero area value.
  • Within range - Elements, the area of which is within a specified range.
  • More than - Elements with an area greater than the specified value.
  • Equal to - Elements, the area of which is equal to a specified value.
  • Less than - Elements with an area smaller than the specified value.
• With Threshold - Calculation threshold.

---

Get Selected Area

After you run this operator, the Multiplied Area value goes into the Select by UV Area operator.

• Mode - The area of what should be obtained? Islands or faces.
  • Island - Island selection mode.
  • Faces - Faces selection mode.
• Average - Averaging.
• Real Area - The area within the UV Editor is very small. This value shows the real area.
• Real UV Area - Same value as Real Area, but in full size.
• Multiplied Area - The same value as the Real Area, but multiplied for easier use.

---

Select Zero Area Faces

Selects islands with zero area.

This is the Select by UV Area operator with Condition - Zero Area and Threshold - 0.0 (zero) activated. You can adjust its settings after execution through the operator properties.

Activated preset “select zero area faces” with zero threshold.

---

Select Faces Less than Pixel

Selects faces with an area less than the specified number of pixels.

• Clear Selection - Clear initial selection.
• Pixel Count - Number of pixels for the calculation.
• Area Threshold - Tolerance level for face area selection.

---

Select Faces By Normal

Select polygons by reference normal

This way, you can select polygons that are “not visible” from the position of the reference normal. If the reference normals are arranged in a cylindrical shape, as shown in the screenshot, you will get a correct selection around the reference normals.

---
