After a long public beta we have finally arrived and the wait is over!

Since the only type of selection you can modify UVs with is UV selection, I would suggest hitting ctrl+f12 after you make a face selection to convert to UVs so you can move around etc. Isolating the faces is useful if you do some sort of other projection and have a bunch of stuff overlapping, you can easily see how your…
I daisy chained some commands together into a script that MIGHT help with automate the manual process a bit. It isn't anything too complex and there might be better, more advanced ways to generate the needed topology but this should get close to the same results you're getting manually.

Hey, i might be able to help with some of those question but not all: 2. You can have more then one separate piece of mesh, if you know what I mean.

After waiting for a useless color shifting wallpaper I went to the Portfolio page, which loads for few seconds for FOUR SMALL IMAGES. Then I went to the first image, again loading while there's only a bunch of tiny images. I…
Also check out the Normalize function of TexTools lowest left button. It will scale or Normalize the UV shells to more or less match in scale. Which is something the relax feature does but with Normalize it's not going to relax the faces as it normalizes. It's in the main UI command panel under the modifier stack in…
