UV Tools

Select

Select or moved.

Select Box

Select UVs by dragging a box.

Cursor

Change the location of the 3D Cursor.

Move

Translation tool.

Rotate

Rotation tool.

Scale

Scale tool.

Transform

Tool to adjust the UVs translation, rotations and scale.

Annotate

Draw free-hand annotation.

Annotate Line

Draw straight line annotation.

Annotate Polygon

Draw a polygon annotation.

Annotate Eraser

Erase previous drawn annotations.

Grab

The Grab brush moves UVs around.

Relax

The Relax brush makes UVs more evenly distributed. The algorithm relies on space, not stretch minimization, so most probably a minimize stretch will have to be run for optimal results. Yet it is great to use after stitching islands, or when unwrap produces cluttered results to smooth the distribution of UVs.

Relaxation Method

There are two relax algorithms:

Laplacian, HC

Pinch

The Pinch brush moves UVs toward the brush’s center. The pinch brush can be inverted by pressing Ctrl-LMB.
