Synopsis

subdMapSewMove [-constructionHistory boolean] [-limitPieceSize boolean] [-name string] [-numberFaces int] selectionList

subdMapSewMove is undoable, queryable, and editable.

This command can be used to Move and Sew together separate UV pieces along geometric edges. UV pieces that correspond to the same geometric edge, are merged together by moving the smaller piece to the larger one.


The argument is a UV selection list.

Return value

stringThe node name.

In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

When on, this flag tells that the face number limit described above should be used.
-numberFaces(-nf) int createqueryedit
