hi, im trying to transer a UV set from one mesh to another copy of that exact mesh, but it wont let me. i select both objects, go to polygon - transfer - UV sets... and it says i get a result in the little box in bottom right, but when i select the second object and go to the UV layout window, the UV's have not been copied over...... can anyone please tell me whats wrong? or another method of transfering UV's between 2 objects? ty

Is it possible that one or the othe robject has more than one UV set that is being copied and perhaps the correct one isnot beign utilized?

Go into the UV texture editor > Image >UV sets and look to see if there is more than one UV set listed.

this is wierd...., i can get it to transfer if i duplicate the object , then apply a cyindrical UV map.. it transfers to the original objet fine.

but when i start breaking up the mapping like, a cylindrical, and a few planar maps, then move and sew the parts together in the editor , get the UV's all layed out the way i want, then try to transfer that UV set back to teh orignal, it will not transfer ..... hmmm.
