Break cluster of polygons in UVW Unwrap

#1

I’ve seen a couple of threads on this topic but none that helped me find my answer.

  1. I have an object,
  2. I apply a UVW Unwrap modifier
  3. I select a cluster of polygons inside the UVW Unwrap editor window
  4. Press break. (this wont do anything, since I selected multiple polygons and it only works on single selection)

So I tried to write a script for this.

Found the following code:

for o in selection do
(
o.modifiers[#unwrap_uvw].unwrap.breakSelected()
)
)

However this only works in vertexselection mode. How can I get this to work in Polygon mode so that the entire selection is split up in separate polygons?

so convert face selection to vertices and apply…

breakselected works in the Edge Mode as well. I prefer to break in the edge mode:

(
	unwrap = $.unwrap_uvw

	unwrap.faceToEdgeSelect()
	unwrap.setTVSubObjectMode 2
	unwrap.breakSelected()
	unwrap.setTVSubObjectMode 3
)

Fantastic! Thank you for the quick help DenisT
