Why doesn’t my UV unwrap have any color? It is outlined in white with no fill color.

My UV unwrap is outlined in white but has no fill color.. not green, red, or blue. What does this mean and how do I amend this?

Hi @panthra – Could you post a screenshot of the issue you’re describing?

[Kelly O]

I have tried Googling why my UV unwrap turned out this way but I haven’t found a solution.

This is perfectly normal, O Kelly. What colors would you like to see? If you want to see the stretching colors,(which I think you do,) you need to open up the right (N-)Panel and enable the stretching Overlay (under View):

Thank you for this! It is exactly what I needed. I think I missed the step where we enabled the stretching overlay. Problem solved!

+1 for spikey saving the day again. Don’t worry @panthra we have all done this a time or two.
