Maya 2017 update 3 uvs won't unfold?

Sunray

Ever since I moved to update 3 I'm strugling so hard with the new uv editor when I do a cemra based unwrap and place my seams and try to use the unfold tool nothing unfolds. Never had this problem with the older versions of maya anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Hey @Sunray, I'm having the same issue. Can't seem to figure out the solution. I've tried changing the unfold options, but nothing is working. Were you able to figure out a solution to this?

Not really yet only thing that seems to work for me is delete uvs and do a camera based again. But I'm sure they just changed something that locks uvs or something but I can't figure out why it locks.

Ashervisalis

Hm. I've tried reprojecting but it didn't help me at all. I actually figured out how to fix it like... a month ago, but I completely forgot and am yanking my hair out. I'll let ya know if I figure it out!

Ashervisalis

OK I might have figured it out. I think it might be a bad geo-topology issue. Try going over your UVs and seeing if there are any UVs sewn together weirdly. I think that's been the issue for me and Maya started unfolding once I fixed those.

Were your models imported from ZBrush? That's where I'm getting my errors from.

the mel "polyInfo -nmv -nme -nuv -nue" should find all issues... also nonmanifold uvs...

Sunray

Fucking hell maya now when i press the Unfold tool I don't even get the tool i just get the same fkng selection drag shit.

oglu

have you loaded the unfold3d plugin.?
double check in the plugin manager..

I had a similar issue with this to do with nonmanifold edges.. Fixed with cleanup 

Ashervisalis

Yeah it was all non-manifold edges for me.

Sunray

@oglu Thanks it was turned off somehow.

How's your experience with UV unfolding using Maya 2017 update 3? Have you encountered other issues?

I was planning to upgrade from Maya 2016.5 to 2017 after seeing all the new UV tools they showcased. After a quick research, I read about the alarming problems people were having with the unfold tool. So I decided not to upgrade for now.

i use it every day... no troubles...

Only problem I've run into is the plugin master turning it off sometimes. And for some reason I've been having non manifold edges a lot since I updated not sure why tho. But those are pretty easy to fix. I like the new uv editor a lot tho. Now that I'm used to it.

I see. Great to hear. I really like the new UV editor as well.
