In Softimage, is it possible to have a selection of UVs
converted to the corresponding Polygons via the Texture Editor?

Something like a right click "convert selection to points/edges/etc"?

I don´t mean an Island selection but just a few UVs.

In Maya you can do that, as UVs are treated as just another subobject mode
(select shell/island is an extra right click>menu step compared to 
Softimage,thought).

In terms of general doom and gloom mode:

I´m currently unfolding props/assets and I need to jump in 3Dcoat to do nice 
ABF/LSM
unwraps with proportionally evenly distributed texture space/face, then go back 
to
Softimage to find my current combo of "experimental" 3D coat build and Softimage
gives me a bug and each UV´d face is coming in/out as it´s own shell when using
the *.obj format, so I just pipe Maya inbetween and merge all those back 
together
with a very low threshold in Maya, getting back the shells as layouted in 
3Dcoat,
shuffle things a bit around using Unfold/Relax in Maya then export to Softimage,
which just says thanks, if that´s what you like and let´s me copy and paste the
result back to my intial geometry.

If all three(Max, Maya, Softimage) where one, I´d be fucked...
