Unwrap UVW Default Map channel is 2?

[torquemod]

I just recently started using max 2017 and I only noticed this happening after installing SP3 but for some reason every time I add an UnwrapUVWs modifier to a mesh, the mapping channel is 2 instead of 1. It's not hard to fix, it's just annoying that I have to do it for every model. Any idea why this might be happening and how to fix it? Google didn't turn up anything useful.

Thanks!

Hi,

First Close Max and go to:

C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2017 - 64bit\ENU\plugcfg_ln

Open the file named "unwrapuvw.ini" in a notepad, and look for the parameter "Channel",

Change its Value to 0, save and close, and reopen Max.

Note: AppData is a hidden folder, so you need to enable show hidden files and folders from the Control Panel

OMG you're my hero! I didn't think it'd be as simple as a ini file.

Thanks a million!
