Changes the texture projection operator to read from the top of the Modeling stack (so that UVs are computed after modeling deformations but before shape animation or enveloping). Textures using these coordinates will appear to stick as the object is deformed by shape animation or enveloping.

If the generator already reads from somewhere above the Modeling stack, ReprojectUVW does not change the generator.

ReprojectUVW takes a list of objects and UV properties (texture projections) as input. If an object is a primitive, such as a mesh or a NURBS surface, the command changes the current UV properties used by the materials (see Material.CurrentUV) assigned to the object. If a texture projection does not have an operator (because the operator was frozen), the command has no effect.

ReprojectUVW( [InputObjs] );

Parameter	Type	Description
InputObjs	String	List of objects and UV properties (texture projections). Default Value: Current selection

MsgBox "The projection is being evaluated before the MoveComponent operator. Click OK to apply the ReprojectUVW command."
