hehe, now I got average on the uv editor (which is great!) I have another request for the average in the uv-editor.

and that is: average towards, like you have 2 vertice's, normally when you average them they both go towards the middle of the two, but now I want to average towards one vertex, so only one goes on top of the other. This is a must in the uv editor, because you sometimes don't want to misform some polygons.

waiting for 2010 Cool

(as the last request took 2 years Laughing

)

I have some:

-In-place rotation of a selected face (via the Angle input, not manual rotation). I've had selected faces/selected group of faces fly off to some other part of the UV coordinate (and thus offscreen) for just wanting to turn the whole selection 180 degrees.

-Locking U or V axis for translation

-It would be nice if selecting box mapping didn't make the selected faces so incredibly small (as opposed to generating UVs from the sidebar selection)

Ad 1) You mean like the "invidual rotation" flag for primitive rotation? Consider it done.

Ad 2) Yeah, much requested, and the use is obvious... just have to fiddle it into the interface somewhere.

Ad 3) It actually depends on the facing of your primitive. If it's a cube, it fills out the texture pretty nicely. The mapping algorithm definitely needs some improving Smile

Sorry that I stole your thunder Razz

I was thinking about the OP yesterday in the UV editor, and I think it would be useful too.

Elementrix: Sorry for not responding to your request immediately, it is a bit more complex so I had to think about it for a while.

You actually want to move all selected vertices to move to the exact location of a selected vertex (probably the last selected), right? (that's what would seem most useful to me, but correct me if I'm wrong). That's not "averaging", it's more like "welding" to a fixed welding point.

Yeah, weld would be more of a better description. Sounds a lot like a target weld more than anything, that could also have potential use outside the UV window perhaps?

I agree about the need for a target weld..
I found myself deforming geometry without it Confused

The question (to myself) is......How would you guys determinate the finish point for the weld Confused

?

I think that either the first or the last selected vertex/uv would be your target. Last would be more intuitive I think, but first would be more convenient as it would allow for an "oh, let's just select one more vertex" process.

In 3DS, the target weld is where you select a vertex then drag a line onto the vertex you want to weld it to. Most likely in DeleD, you could do it like what you do with CSG (ie subtract), select the vertex you want to weld, then select the target and hit the function button.
