Unwrap Mode
Several Easeam operators can update UVs after marking seams. Use Unwrap Mode to choose whether the operator only marks seams or also unwraps the affected area.
| Mode | Behavior |
|---|---|
None | Only marks seams. Recommended for increasing workflow speed. |
Selected | Marks seams, then unwraps the affected selected faces. |
Live Unwrap | Uses Blender's live unwrap behavior for the mesh during apply. Re-unwraps the whole mesh. |
If the mesh is above the configured max face count, Easeam disables automatic unwrap for performance unless Force Unwrap is enabled.
Keep Unwrap Mode on None while exploring seam placement. Switch to Selected or Live Unwrap when you are ready to update UVs.
Modal Live Unwrap Shortcut
Modal tools can use Ctrl while applying to temporarily request Live Unwrap. If the Easeam preference is set to make Live Unwrap the default modal behavior, holding Ctrl temporarily disables it instead.
Modal Exit Re-Unwrap
If Re-Unwrap On Exit is enabled, Operator will re-unwrap all visible geometry once on exit, even if the modal tool is cancelled.
If unwrapping is not working, even when using Blender's built-in unwrap tools, try remove the affected UV channel and add it again.
