Create UV sets

The quickest way to create UV sets is while you map UVs. When you map UVs, open the options window, turn on Create New UV Set, and type a name in the UV Set Name box. For example, if you create two planar mappings, one from the top and one from the side, type a new UV set name each time you map.

Alternatively, you can start with an empty UV set and then create UVs.

To create an empty UV set

1. Select the object, then select Create UVs > Create Empty UV Set > .
2. In the Create UV Set Name box, type the name of the empty set and click Create.
3. Select the new UV set (see Switch between UV sets).
4. Create UVs with one of the mapping operations or by copying.
