PasteUVW
 
 
 

PasteUVW

Description

Pastes the UVs that are in the clipboard onto the specified texture projection. If the UVs are copied from one texture projection and pasted onto another then the texture coordinates are set based on the indices of the source selection. If they are pasted on the same texture projection then they are scaled and translated so their bounding boxes match (if possible).

Scripting Syntax

PasteUVW( TextureProjection, [SubComp], [PasteUVsMode] );

Parameters

Parameter Type Description
TextureProjection String The target texture projection.
SubComp String The target cluster of sampled points or tagged sampled points
PasteUVsMode siPasteUVsMode This argument controls how UVs copied from one object are pasted onto a different object with the same topology.

The default behaviour (siDefaultPasteUVsMode) tries to match UVs based on vertex and polygon ordering. If that fails the source UV indices and then the target UV indices will be used in that order.

Specifying siPasteUVsUsingSourceIndices or siPasteUVsUsingTargetIndices will paste UVs using source or target indices only.

Default Value: siDefaultPasteUVsMode
