Unwrapping a nasty mesh

[SideEffectt]

How do you select a single face then expand selection to the whole UV shell in one press like that?

Also thanks so much for this tool. I swear by this thing now :)

If you go in max under:

customize > customize user interface

and then under the keyboard tab, in the category "TexTools" you will find a entry called:

"Extend selection" or extend smartly extention depending on the version of textools.

Bind that command to a custom shortcut like ctrl + alt + e (e for extend) and use it from now on every time you are in the edit unwrap mode.

That macro script will either extend your face selection to shells or your edge selection to a loop selection.

wow quick reply!

Thanks a lot man. You should make a note about that on your TexTools website because that one is extremely useful too.

well its more about the general flow. Check the official page for detailed informations on how to use each tool.

I might write at some point some text based tutorials that are paced the way you read it.

This looks really amazing. It's kind of too bad that it goes so damned fast that I can't really follow much of it.

In any case, it's an amazing plugin, and has already saved me tremendous time. Thanks!
