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
Modal tools have a Live Unwrap preference in Modal Settings. It is disabled by default.
Live Unwrap is only evaluated when you apply the preview, not while hovering. When Live Unwrap is disabled, hold Ctrl while applying to use Live Unwrap for that apply. When Live Unwrap is enabled, applying uses Live Unwrap by default and holding Ctrl bypasses it.
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.
