Hey guys,

iam working at an little asset. it has 26 components and i kept all seperate. now i done the unwarp and packed all into one square. so nothing is attached in case of adjusting things fastly without affecting other pieces and to have a good baking result by moving parts away.

when i open textools and i want to shift the overlapped pieces away it just highlights all pieces and dont put them one unit to the left or right. another thing is when i want to set smoothing groups by uv shells nothing works.

what iam doing wrong? i just want to shift the overlapped faces one unit and set up all smoothing groups by the uv shells.

    I've found that Textool's shifting of island is unreliable if you do any modifications to the meshes, like collapsing stack or resetting xforms etc. I suggest using a standalone script for this, it can be found on scriptspot.com

    As for smoothing groups script, it can break sometimes too. I think it doesn't work properly when your mesh has modifiers in stack or it's triangulated. Try resetting transforms and collapsing stack before trying to apply smoothing groups.
