Arrange Islands

Organizes selected UV islands into a structured grid layout with precise control over row/column density, container bounds, scaling, and distribution origins.

This operator is ideal for organizing repeating modular assets, atlas components, or tidying up scattered UV islands into predictable array layouts.

• Grid Settings (U / V) — Sets the total number of columns (U) and rows (V) in the arrangement grid.
• Area Size (X / Y) — Defines the overall width and height dimensions of the grid container (e.g., 1.0 x 1.0 corresponds to a single UV tile).
• Start From — Defines the origin reference point from which the grid array is constructed:
  • In Place — Builds the grid starting from the current location of the primary UV island.
  • UV Area — Anchors the grid start at the (0, 0) origin coordinate of the UV space.
  • Cursor — Places the starting origin directly at the 2D UV Cursor position.
• Offset (X / Y) — Shifts the entire grid layout along the U and V axes.
• Scale Global — Scales the entire grid, proportionally adjusting both island sizes and inter-island spacing.
• Scale Island — Scales each island individually around its local origin without changing grid cell positions.
• Randomize — Adds random positional jitter to islands within their grid placements.
• Seed — Randomization seed value controlling island distribution jitter when Randomize is enabled.
