[3DS MAX 2015] move uvw template into the blue frame?

nooks

hey there. i'm working sometimes with meshes from games so uvw map isn't placed in the blue frame.
is there a way to move the map into the blue frame with the exact position, so i can export the template? or is there a way to export the template placed outer the blue frame?

thank you!

Using Max 2018, no idea what is the blue frame.

the center image is framed with a blue line and that's the area i can export the uvw template as an image...
imported game meshes got their template sometimes outter this frame so i can't export the template. and i need the exact position to work on the texture.

It is grey now but I have seen screenshots it was blue before. In Max 2018 it is possible to render other tiles. Not sure if olders versions can do it.

If you have an older version and lacks of this functionality there is a old talk about this but not sure if it really solved anything

Also from other post:
I know this is an old thread, but there is a tool now which solves this, PolyUnwrapper

The toolset is free for personal/educational use.

I would simply use UVW Xform modifier to move the UV +1 on the V axis. Then you can render your wireframe template.

It will be textured exactly the same way in 3ds Max, and in any game, there's no difference.
