So, I've been unwrapping semi-circular objects and this happens:

bolt_uv

I wanted to know if it is a configuration setting that I'm screwing up or something like that. I can edit it but it is a huge pain, in some tutorials they just work. This is killing me slowly and surely.

  • $\begingroup$ The unwrap option, no smart, spherical or nothing. Its a simple object :C, I only added 3 seams $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ It looks like if your normals are flipped. With everything selected try Ctrl-N and Unwrap it again. $\endgroup$

The solution is:

In Object Mode: Apply the scale first.

Now you can unwrap it.

See the image below:

Edit: It is a good practice to Apply any transformations (scale, rotaion...)before using any modifier or/and Unwrap.

When I try and unwrap your model a message appears in my toolbar:

enter image description here

And when looking at your object's dimensions, I see, as the previous message indicated, that your object has non-uniform scale (not all values are '1'), meaning the object has been scaled in object mode:

enter image description here

The unwrap operation works on the vertices, essentialy ignoring any scaling in object mode you have done to the object (as I understand it). You need to 'apply' the scaling you did in object mode, to the underlying vertices. You can do this by pressing Ctrl+A and choosing Scale.

See Why is it important to apply transformation to an objects data? for more information.
