snap to grid in UV editor...max 8

fritz

hello. i 've never had to use this before. but i need to today and fast. i can't seem to get ANY snapping at all in the uv editor in max 8. i'd like to be able to snap a square face to a block of the grid. sorry if this is noobish....just never needed snap in the uv editor before....thanks

I just uninstalled max8 like 2 days ago (so I can't check to be sure), but I believe their should be a small icon in the bottom right corner of the uv window that looks like a magnet on top of a grid that you'll have to click.

Also, it only pixel snaps if there is a map that contains pixels applied to the object. So if you have pixel snap on and no materials applied yet it won't snap to anything. The default UV checker pattern is procedural and won't let you snap, as it doesn't contain pixels to snap to.

Another reason to use a custom checker pattern...
