How do I join two UV islands into one making it better for unwrapping? How do I join two parts into one making it better for unwrapping? One part was mirrored and joined in the middle, doubles removed.
Ok, just found out why it did not unwrap into 1 piece.
The ends had ngons so when I joined the 2 pieces in the middle they were still there when I joined the vertices in the centre. Now removed the 2 un-needed faces and unwraps nicely.
