Hey. By default Fit To Trim works in Tweak mode. Once you need use trim properties, change it to Exact mode. Pay attention you must set properties before running Fit To Trim. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1460186061077614717/1460192380300038154/image.png?ex=696605a0&is=6964b420&hm=0ebbca69135767152bfe4674de52165fdc9d2761152584f41dc9a1c8a7bfde1d&

okay, after im using a tweak mode (i believe it refer to blender tweaking tool?) ... there is no pop up appear, and after i press F9 it appear, and now its working, but, do i have to do this everytime? can we just set it from "Advanced Settings" on the menu? and also... what do you mean by an Exact mode? thanks in advanced!

This mode has nothing to do with the Blender tweaking tool. Here is how it works: you select the island you need and press Fit To Trim. Then open the operator settings (the black panel in the bottom-left corner of the screen) and adjust them as required. By default, the operator works in Fit: Tweak mode. This is done so you can adjust the operator and quickly place an island into a trim the way you need, without changing the trim’s own properties. It is a simple and fast mode for straightforward cases. However, if you want to place many islands and you know exactly how each trim should work, you should configure the trim properties first and then switch the operator to Fit: Exact mode. This is what I showed in the previous screenshot. Regarding whether you need to do this again — no, you don’t. Operator settings are preserved for the duration of the Blender session until you change them manually. What I described above is the basic interaction model for any Blender operator. Spend a bit of time getting familiar with it, and your workflow will become much faster.

yeah, my operator wont showing after i click it, (if you notice at my screenshot). so what the difference of the menu "fit axis U" that i click in the "advance settings" before which it won't work? with the one that has in the operator?

I don't know how to explain it better than I already have. The difference is that you can create a complex production process using the properties of trim. Or a simple one using operator settings (Tweak mode). In this mode, the operator knows nothing about the properties of trim and is guided only by their own settings such as Fit Axis and others. You are simply trying to avoid learning a new topic and want everything to work the way you imagined it. But it won't work that way. It will only work the way the developers intended it to. 🙂

ooo... now i know between exact and tweak mode. im using zenUV a lot, but never notice the difference in setting. i thought i just set it straight on the menu (exact mode). thanks for the explanation, i will keep explore it furthermore.!

Unfortunately, I couldn't find a detailed description of Fit To Trim in our documentation. We will definitely fix this, but in general, I recommend reviewing the material. You can simply hover your mouse over the operator button and press F1 to go to the explanations. We try to keep the documentation up to date for better understanding. I'm glad I could help you.
I also recommend that you go through the tutorial. It will give you basic knowledge of how to work with the add-on. This will significantly speed up the workflow but won't take much time.. https://zenmastersteam.github.io/Zen-UV/latest/tutorial/

okay, cool, will check it out.
