Thank you !

You got my point.

I combined all meshes, then selected all the faces of the port side (light blue material) and started the UV-mapping process.

Oh, I didn't know that. I will try this.

After doing that, you can scale/arrange your UV map so that each part will match perfectly its desired position on the ship plan |
Yes, that was my plan if all else failed. But isn't there any 3D software which is able to arrange different UV regions according to their relative arrangement in an orthogonal projection ?
