Hey guys, long time no see
I have a dumb question, and it's dumb because I should know it already.
While (still...) working on the Lavi, which looks great by the way (and should be released in the next few months), I was getting bored about it (don't worry, it happens from time to time. I'll get back to it soon) and wanted something new.
I then recalled seeing somewhere a drawing of a I further developed Kfir with F404 engine, dubbed the "Nammer" - tiger.
Anyhow, I started doing it. It was easy and fun, very unlike the Lavi with all the troubles I had.
Ok... enough bull$hiting...
I need to know how to texture one part of an object while leaving the rest of it blank or texture it with another file.
This is a stupid question since I already did it in the Lavi, but can't remember how.

Thanks in advance!

P.S: Dan, if you are reading this, I'm still waiting for the Lavi Air file.

Sorry, here it is.

Well, it's here:

I'm sure there is another way...
I didn't do it in the Lavi.
And beside, collapsing that much is too hard.
But thanks any way

HAH-HA!  That's where you're wrong!  Collapsing is not hard.  Don't use that anal retentive mother of a tool "Collapse"!

Use Weld.  It's the same thing, it just does it for a large selection of vertices instead of two or three at a time.

To find it, select some vertices and scroll down the modifier window, looking carefully.  About halfway down you'll see a small section labled "Weld" with two buttons under it reading "Selected" and "Target".  These dictate how the tool collapses the vertices.  At this point, select all the vertices in the object.  Don't worry, we won't screw anything up.

Next to each button is a small number entry window.  For "Selected", enter a small number.  This is the minimum distance that will be allowed between two vertices before they are collapsed into one.  I set this number between 0.125" and 0.0625" for operations like you are doing.  Now set the number next to "Target" to 1.  I'm not entirely sure what this does, but it is obviously about pixels.  I just set this to one, but I really haven't noticed any differences.

Now click the button labled "Target" until it is highlighted.  Press the "Selected" button and PRESTO!  The vertices you were wanting to "Collapse" have now been "Welded"!

Erez, you can use the Modifiers/UV Coordinates/Unwrap UVW on one or all polys.Just remember to change the part back to editable mesh after each texture editing.Also you can multi select parts and edit texture polys,as long as they are in the same image.
