I have just read the piece at http://www.blender3d.org/cms/UV_Unwrapping.363.0.html and tried the cube example but I couldn’t try the ‘pinning’ feature as i really didn’t understand it. Can someone please shed some light on it for me possibly with some screen shots pls.
Thnx
pinned verticies show up red in the uv editor
so, here is what you do
create a cube and create the seams so that lscm unfolds it correctly
select 2 or more verts in the uv editor [do it with 3, you see the effect], and press control+p
enter grab mode on one of them, and press the L key to enter live lscm grab mode, lscm will be recalculated as you move the mouse
now, you will have to pin the verts of other uv regions you have visible if you don’t want the lscm recalculation to unwrap them
