Layout UV's but keeping scale?

Hey Guys,
I'm currently at the UV stage on my model. I have created uv's for every object, and now want to lay them out on different UDIMs. What I do is to set the texel density to the same specific number on each object, and then using the layout uvs option to reorganise the individual shells. When doing so, the shells try to fill as much space as possible in the one UDIM space, so they are scaled up, to fit more space. What I mostly do to prevent that from happening is setting shell pre-scaling to off, and scale mode also to off. Now they don’t scale, but still organise in a square, that just is a big as its needed. If I change the packing region to custom, I can sort of get what I want, but I have to try out multiple number every time I want to organise them.

So what I am looking for is a way to keep the scale, but still laying them out on the whole horizontal space.

I hope you get what I mean.

Hello,

 

I understand, and this should really be the default setting with a button to "set texel density to meshes with varying scale".

This tool requires some work.
Refer to UVLayout to see how to do it better.

There is no way to do that in maya with one click. You need multiple tries.

This is unacceptable.
