Complex UV Layout in Maya
Over the last couple of years UV layout in Maya has changed for the better. In this course we're going to be taking a look at some of those changes as we UV map an entire character

view panel refresh problem
I got a GeForceFX 5600 Ultra a few weeks ago, and while it works great on everything else... im having a minor, yet really annoying problem in maya...
The view panels always scramble when I switch from 4view to full screen.
I have read that some other people have this problem, and it does fix itself after playing with timeslider etc... but it seems to me that there should be a better way.
Any suggestions? Is nVidia going to release new drivers to fix this problem?
thanks

(only the "Quatro" line is qualified).
Alias knows about the viewport refresh issue, and has documented it online, along with some extreme cases of system instability using the GeForce line as well.
HOWEVER, I have a brand new Nvidia FX 5700 Ultra that I got yesterday for my brand new Maya box that I am testing tonight, and I'll let you know if that still happens with my particular drivers.
(I'll post the version # if all is fine when I get home)
If it does happen, I'll post a workaround that I have found is a LOT easier that touching the timeline

So, my simple workaround without touching the timeline is:
1. Press your UP arrow ONCE on your keyboard,
then press the down arrow ONCE.
Works like a charm for me.
The idea is simply a selection change, and that seems to work.
:thumbsup:
Maybe we could have someone in the Mel section write us a simple melscript that invokes the "Invert Selection" command TWICE, thus giving us back our original selection again as well

now, could you have it run the code automatically after enlarging a view window?
something like:
onWindowEnlarge(){
$sel = `ls -sl`;
select -cl;
select $sel;
}

Tech notes for those who care:
panePop.mel is the MEL script that is run each time you hit the space bar to "pop" from multiple viewpanels to a single viewpanel and vice versa. The script is located in the scripts/startup directory of the Maya application directory (i.e. "Program File/AliasWavefront/Maya5.0/scripts/startup/"). All I did was copy panePop.mel to my user scripts directory and then add the 3 lines to save the selection, clear the selection, and reselect the previously select objects. Because user scripts override the application default ones, this customized version of panePop.mel will always run whenever you press the space bar.
