Scale by component (UV Shell) in UV Editor

[The-Digital-Shaman]

Hi there,

I try to find a way to scale multiple UV Shells according to each UV Shell's own center.

Analogically to Scaling with Axis by Component.

Do you have some clues how can I perform such operation?

Thanks,

DS

How many are "multiple"?

For a few shells, you can repeat for every individual shell selection of UVs (UV > LMB-doubleclick any uv), then apply EditMesh>Transform, which will automatically assume bounding-box center, and where you can enter numerical scale value. I believe, you can enter also selecting all the newly created polyMoveUV* nodes and enter the scale value all at once.

For a greater number of shells, you'd look for some 3rd party tools or write own script. Don't know about versions beyond M2019.
