Copy UV layouts?

Maya for 3D Printing - Rapid Prototyping

In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

I am modelling a scene in which a lot of the models ie. buildings etc are the same just scaled differently. I presume I can copy the uv set from one to another?! How do I do this?

supposing they are duplicated from the same model, you can use Polygons > Transfer > Options and check UVs.

I think this is new in Maya 8

Maya can now transfer UV, color per vertex (CPV), and vertex position information between surface meshes that have differing topologies (that is, the number, arrangement, and connectivity of vertices on each mesh is not identical) using the new Transfer Attributes feature.
