How do you move portions of the UV which are outside the texture axis back inside so everything can be aligned? Thanks for the help.

cool, thanks for the help. Now I have a new question. Basically I'm making a character and I'm just working with one half of the face. I have everything adjusted in the with the texture map in the UV texture editor. The thing is when I make a mirror copy of the side of the face, the UV texture editor does not mirror the texture map. How can I get it so that it mirrors the texture map as well?

select the copy geo then right click and select the uv's.. once the uvs are selected shift the oringial geo. In the uv texture window you will see 2 uv maps (one that has the uvs selected and one that is the oringinal) select the scale tool and scale the uv to have the mirror image in proportion, move it into place then sew them up.

you don't necessarily have to scale it. There is a flip command in the UV Tex Editor.

Hey, I'd like to use this to, but I can't get it to work. I instanced my model -1 on the x axis, and selected it's uvs, but it selects the originals uvs also. They don't seem to have separate uvs..... Could someone help me, this would save me lots of time with projecting uvs.
