Hi everyone,

Quick question; I can"t select anthing in the UV editor, which is making texturing impossible. As a matter of fact, I can't do any selecting of any kind unless I'm in viewport 2.0, which I don't beleive the UV editor is connected too.

PS, I hope it's not because of my Radeon HD 7970.... I heard good things about this card as a good card for being able to do CG work, AND play games, but I have heard others say very differnt things......Be easier to understand what kind of card I want for my personal uses if most of the internet wasn't so biased with gaphic card companys/technology, lol.

No answers??

I'm still stuck with this. There is no way to select, move, rotate, or anything within the uv editor!?? If I can't figure this out, then Maya is pretty much dead and useless to me :frowning: Just went to select some uvs and manipulate them.....

Do vertices and UV points display in the UV editor? The fact you need VP 2.0 to select anything often indicates a hardware or driver issue. While not officially supported, I've heard good things about the 7970 as well. Have you tried a different driver? Latest drivers are usually not what you want.  Best of luck.

Try to re-create the UV's with automatic mapping, then go to UV material editor and hold right-mouse-button > UV. If the problem still exist, you can allways make use of secondary UV software like: Roadkill (which is also easyer to use)...

Ok, I know this is old now, but for anyone else who this might help, I've figured it out!! :smiley: Not sure how or if this is any concern for Nvidia card users, but as far as my AMD Radeon goes, I simply went under "gaming" in the Catalyst Control Center and made every option use "application settings", instead of the ATI overrides. Now as I read elsewhere, it sounds like the main setting causing the issue was the AA override, but I just did it for all of them. Also, if you still want some of the overrides for your games, just do this as a specific for Maya only. Again hope this is useful to someone!!! :slight_smile:
