Lock UVs in UV Editor

Support Materials and Textures

Is it possible to lock UVs? You would think that pinning them would lock them from editing too, but pin only prevents them from moving when you unwrap. I want to be able to lock certain UVs in the editor so that they don’t move when I use UV sculpt on other UVs proportionately that are not locked.

Any ideas?

You could separate that portion you don’t want to edit in UV editor to a separate object, enable “Draw other objects” in UV editor

Now when you select both objects in object mode and enter edit mode on one of them you should see both of this objects UVs

It’s a work around but I hope this helps :slight_smile:

Thanks, Tian. I have never used ‘Draw other Objects’ so I will have to give it a try.
Just surprised that you can’t actually lock any UVs from editing.
