UV Mapping

Hi,

Why when I UV unwrap this model are the walls square instead of oblong ? Same if I use automatic seams.

There is no bottom floor, deleted polygons.

Pretty sure your model isn´t 1:1:1 in scale anymore - right?

Cheers
Frank

Yes - use "coord-system" to reset back to 1:1:1 in scale and unwrap again.
I´d go for a different layout BTW:

Cheers Frank, you came to my rescue again .. :icon_thumbup:

Didn't know you had to burn the scale.

You´ll be remembering this when you try to animate hierarchical stuff that´s no longer in 1:1:1 scale.

Cheers
Frank

And now you know how to fix it.
If you like to stay parametric please use "Width/Height
Length, etc" instead at the properties entry fields - not "Scale:" and everything will be fine.

Cheers

In general, most of the time when you scale something you actually want to modify its geometry and not its scale. It's a good habit to immediately clean up the scale settings after using transform to scale an object (unless you MEANT to change its scale).
