UVMapping off the page

[dresdenwitch]

I am trying my first attempt at UVMapping and have found that when I unwrap the head of my axe it's off the page. What can I do to either make the page bigger or be able to move the maps up onto the page. I know about the 'select all' and moving them around, but I can't do that if I can't select them.

First go to edge mode, then area select or select all - then you can scale and move

Thank you novolume that worked.

new problem. Did a quick texture and this is the result. Where did I go wrong?? The studs came out alright cause the whole page was the one colour, but when I tried to colour individual things this happened.

There were the steps I took to make the UVMaps.

1. Layout..>UVEditing
2. in line mode marked out the seams
3. >toggle seams
4. >UV unwrap

Then because the head of the axe was off the page.

5. used area select and select all to move the pieces into place.
6. >save UVMap PDF

I know I must be missing a step here somewhere.

Thank you

Did you manage to solve this? If not send me the file and I will show you what to do in the future.

Thank you Mike, give me a day or two and I'll send the file over, your help would be greatly appricated with this.
I've had to take my computer back to 'default' and am still putting everything back on, but I'm pretty sure I have saved the files onto a disc, just have to find it.

No problem.
