Size X

Size Y

Keep Aspect Ratio

Constrains the proportions of the X and Y resolution. That is, if you move the X slider, the Y slider moves an equal distance.

Include UV Snapshot

Creates a UV snapshot as a guideline to help you paint with a greater degree of accuracy in Adobe Photoshop.

Position Top/Bottom

Determines whether the UV layer is created at the top or at the bottom of the layer stack in Adobe Photoshop.

UV Set

Specifies which UV Set to use for the UV Snapshot.

Color Value

Specifies the color to be used for the UV mesh in the snapshot image.
