maya question - dissapearing UVs

Archanex

Hey guys, I'm currently working on an environment, and I unwrapped it, but for some reason certain faces will not show up at all my UV Texture Editor. I don't know how to fix this and it's super frustrating. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks a bunch

Have you tried deleting all of your UVs and starting over?

You could also try exporting it as an obj and back in.

Archanex

what do you mean by "deleting UVs"?

Tulkamir

You could try making a new uv map, specifically on the faces which aren't showing. Just select them and create a new map using planar/cylindrical/whatever. (I'm assuming that's what was meant by deleting the UVs)

Also, make sure that the missing faces aren't in a different UV Set. (UV editor window on the main toolbar there is a menu for it).

That's all I can think of at the moment.

You can delete your UVs in Maya without having to create a new UV Set. But yes, I second what Tulkamir suggested - it sounds like you accidentally created a new set while unwrapping.
