== Steps ==
# Open two instances of Blender; 2.79b and 3.X (latest)
# Install '''LaughingLeaders' Blender Helpers for 2.79b''' into 2.79b
# Open your model in 3.X first
# Copy and paste the entire model and all its meshes into 2.79b
# Minimize (or close) 3.X, we won't need it again until the end
# Open up another window next to the '''Properties Tab''' by pulling on one of the stripped triangles in the top corner
# In the new window, click on the Properties button under the '''Project Outline''', choose '''UV/Image Editor'''

# Click on the mesh you want to check first (to be on the safe side go through each mesh one by one)
# Hit '''TAB''' to go into '''Edit mode'''
# Click on the vertical '''Helpers tab''' and make sure that the '''Select All Problems''' box is checked
# Click on '''Check UV Triangles'''
[[File:Uv_error_2.webp]]
# At the very top of Blender, you'll see a notification telling you how many UV problems were found. They will also highlight them in orange on your mesh and in the graph on the right

# To the left of your model, you'll see '''Remove Doubles''' in the '''Tools tab'''
# Click on it and you'll see a message at the top, ''Removed 0 vertices'' because the merge distance is too short to combine any of the overlapping vertices
# Try changing the merge distance incrementally as small as possible. Somewhere around 0.0004 you'll see ''Removed X vertices'' at the top
# Keep an eye on your mesh and make sure it's not getting too distorted
# After each vertex removal/merge, select and deselect (CTRL-A in edit mode) the mesh and repeat the earlier steps of '''Check UV Triangles''' and '''Remove Doubles''' of vertices
[[File:Uv_error_4.webp]]
# Not all UV errors will show up on the graph, so keep an eye on the notification at the top that tells you how many UV errors you have
# When you've merged all the vertices causing problems, you'll see ''No UV problems found'' at the top

# After you have done this for each mesh in your model, copy and paste the entire thing back into 3.X
# Export as <code>.DAE</code>
