Weird ProBuilder UV bug

Unity Engine

This has happened to me a couple of times. To reproduce this I created a brand new scene, made a probuilder mesh, and extruded it so I would have 2 faces next to each other. I also set the scale to 8, I don’t know if that causes this or not but that’s the scale I usually use. Now I opened the UV editor and this is what it looks like:

762×628 32.4 KB

So then I dragged the face I had currently selected:

770×632 32.8 KB

As you can see, the other face, for some reason, comes along with it while I’m dragging it, but as soon as I let go, it goes back to where it was:

769×645 32.7 KB

This happens every time I try to drag the face. Here is me dragging it back towards the other face:

759×647 33.1 KB

And here is what happens when I let go of it.

752×669 32.9 KB

This is really annoying because sometimes, the faces are far apart from eachother, and I want to put them together with the alt key shortcut that snaps two faces together. However, when I drag one, it also moves the other one in this weird way which means the alt key shortcut does nothing and the faces won’t snap together. Why does this bug happen, and how to fix it? Sure, one could eyeball it to get the two faces to be next to each other, but is there any other workaround that lets me still use the alt key snapping feature?

Just realized what is causing this while playing around with it.

Apparently I have been clicking ctrl+click on faces whenever I want to select multiple faces at once, and while ctrl+click does indeed select multiple faces at once, it is also the hotkey for aligning an adjacent face’s uv coordinates, which I didn’t know.

I’ve never noticed ctrl+click causing this, because I am used to ctrl+clicking to select multiple faces at once, but apparently it is alt+click. I’m probably used to ctrl+click because that is the case for example when you want to select multiple gameobjects at once, and the program never gave me a message like “auto-stitch performed” or anything, so I just assumed this faces-being-bound-together thing happened randomly. :smile:

I’m glad I discovered this feature though, because this is immensely useful for making my textures line up properly! :slight_smile:

Anyways, is it possible to somehow undo this thing for a specific mesh when I don’t want faces bound anymore?
Also what if I do this for two faces and then I move one of them like in the example? They won’t line up anymore, but they’re still bound together. Could be solved by un-binding them, but is that possible?
