I see this and kinda wondered the point since flatten mapping already exists in just as many steps and this can also be done inside udk. However, considering the Export value, I ask "does is support .ASE export, AND center to 0,0,0 at export?" If so, you're tool has value.

Im adding center to 0,0,0 at the moment gimme 5 mins and the point of it is you can apply it too many objects at once so for example a whole map full of objects opposed to one at a time! and yes it supports .ASE

OK added a button to set all objects pivots in scene to 0,0,0

Any other requests feel free to ask i could mabey add more functionality to it.

Awesome, though I know you understand it has nothing to do with AO, it's lightmapping. Might be worth the renaming as to not confuse people.

Good point! Im thinking from an a point of view of rendering the AO map in max instead of UDK but Ill change it!

Hey, Jody, I was considering the UDK workflow further. How about a button to place a UVW Map box at 128 (standard max units) for channel 1? This would be great in situations of putting together a large scene with placeholder meshes, giving them the same UV scale as standard brushes. Nothing necessary, just to make the earlier steps of development look neater, and something I always do with new meshes at the same time I toss on the lightmap UVs.

Im not too sure what you mean could you explain and ill add it in... iv added a few more things ill upload soon when I add your idea.
