Synopsis

polyMoveUV([constructionHistory=boolean], [name=string], [pivot=float], [pivotU=float], [pivotV=float], [random=float], [rotationAngle=angle], [scale=[linear, linear]], [scaleU=linear], [scaleV=linear], [translate=[linear, linear]], [translateU=linear], [translateV=linear])

Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.

polyMoveUV is undoable, queryable, and editable.

Moves selected UV coordinates in 2D space. As the selected UVs are adjusted, the way the image is mapped onto the object changes accordingly. This command manipulates the UV values without changing the 3D geometry of the object.
