Laying Out UVs
It's time to texture paint our treasure chest! Goodbye, boring color - hello, life-like textures. We will also influence material properties to make our metal reflect light and make the wood appear dull.
We will keep it simple by painting one global color map.
But wait...what's a map? And what are textures? Don't worry, we will go over all the terminology together, step by step.
Essential Techniques for all your Future Blender Projects
This simple, stylized treasure chest is a lot of fun to create! But understand that it's only a means to an end. The best part about this project is that it teaches you all the essential techniques and workflows for creating anything with Blender. After this course, you can apply what you learn here to endless Blender projects.
Tip: As you progress through the course. Think about how the methods can be applied to other projects. When you're done with your treasure chest, you will be equipped to tackle any object that's in your head.

UV menu disappeared
Hi!
I don't know what's happened, but after choosing one method, the UV menu at the bottom of the site (that with "Angle Based", etc.) haven't appeared anymore. Now when I choose U -> Unwrap, there are no options to choose from. I also try after restarting Blender to copy chest to new project, still the UV menu wouldn't show up. Did I make some obvious beginner's mistake?

Alt-click does not disable all modifier (2.9)

Alt-click does not disable all modifier (2.9)
SOLUTION: Disabling "Emulate 3 Button Mouse" in Preferences re-enables the ability to use the Copy to Selected alt-click shortcut.
I tried doing the select all, then alt-clicking the "display modifier in viewport" icon and it does nothing. I'm using 2.9 and actually using Kent's file from the downloads since I wanted to skip ahead to the UV unwrapping bit.
Am I doing something wrong or was this behavior changed in 2.9?
