When i unwrap there is a blue face for draw faces. I unselect it.
question: should I unselect it and why is there a square around my
unwrapped model?

I’m sorry, I don’t understand your problem. Could you rephrase it and be more specific?
There is a square around my map look at image. Also under Uv image editor in the view menu there is a selection called view faces if it is selected there is a blue square, like the image you see only blue. what is that view faces for?

the link doesn’t seem to be working for me.
‘Draw Faces’ means the UV/Image editor will draw semi-transparent faces between any 3 or 4 vertices that form a face in the UV map. By default these faces are blue for unselected faces, and light purple if you select 4 verts that form a face. The colors kind of add up if they overlap, so bright blue colors mean you have a bunch of overlapping UV’s.
- Your link does not work.
- There is no entry in the view menue called “view faces”, but there is an entry called “Draw Faces”. Well, it draws the faces between the vertices…
There is a documentation which may be a bit outdated regarding UV mapping, but simply follow the brilliant tutorial by Derek Marsh and I think you will learn what’s necessary.

Hope that helps.
Just wanted to know what that square around my unwrapped face was. I can’t get that image link to work. Imageshack lately has been off, so i can’t show you waht i mean. I read derek’s tut a few weeks ago.
