Moving pins while in Peel mode moves around my UV shell everywhere (3DS Max)

Nigthmare97

Is there any way to avoid this?
I have a model which works perfectly with pins that always stay where I put them but in this model I'm unwrapping now it's a nightmare to keep them in place.

Here's a little video showcasing the problem:

In the Peel rollout of the UV editor make sure to disable 'avoid overlap'. At least this is what I took from your phrasing.

Hello!

Thanks for answering but sadly I get the exact same results with avoid overlap off.
I also just uploaded a video showing what I get when I move around my pins.

Also don't mind the fact I'm "texturing" the model by moving shells over a render, there's a purpose for that.

It also may be worth nothing that i'm  Isolating a single UV Shell

I can't reproduce here on 2018.4. Peel mode works perfectly. My guess is that it's because you're on 2017. That version absolutely f**cked the Unwrap modifier. Are you using the latest update?

oooh, that could work.

I've had problems with max recently so I guess I'll download that now.
Thanks, hopefully that'll resolve my problem and I won't post another reply

Any reason you're not updating to 2018? It's much more polished than 2017.

First thing I would try would be to reset Xforms and check the size of the object.

I tried reseting but I didn't get a different result.
Also the whole model fits inside the grid so I suppose there's nothing abnormal about it

I usually wait some time until there's no bugs and crashes but I guess considering 2019 is out it should be okay to upgrade now

2018 is up to a .4 update. 2019 is up to a .2 update. And 2020 dev is in full swing so you should be alright.

Nope, still having the exact same issue in 2018 )=

Okay I fixed it in a way I could've never imagined.

For WHATEVER reason having a background image on the UV editor with an aspect ratio other than 1x1 causes peel pins to do some weird adjustment whenever you move them.

Thank you all for your time!

Oh right. Glad you got it sorted. Just one of those crazy bugs.
