Smart UV Project/Unwrap

Question

I'm having trouble using the Smart UV Project Unwrap in Blender 2.81. When I go into shading to check the Unwrap, I apply a basic checker texture and it shows a stretch in the Z axis. Why is this so? How can I fix this, make them square checkers.

See below:

Thanks, CorzaX24

This usually happens, when your object has non-uniform scale.
You need to apply scale first for a correct UV unwrap.

Object > Apply > Scale

Also, make sure your texture is connected to the UV map

Have followed your suggestion, hasn't fixed anything :( Also tried applying all transformations.
Any other ideas?

Weird, works fine for me :). Make sure to UV unwrap again, after applying the scale. If that won't work, you can share your .blend file and I can check what's wrong. – jachym michal Jan 27 '20 at 09:06
Is there a way to completely remove previous UV unwraps? Or does doing another one just overwrite the existing one? I'm new the blender if you can't tell. – CorzaX24 Jan 27 '20 at 09:07
If you select all vertices, it just overwrites the old UV map. This thread goes into detail: https://blender.stackexchange.com/q/46965/78972 – jachym michal Jan 27 '20 at 09:09
After deleting any UV unwraps and applying a new smart UV Unwrap after applying scales/transformations, still having the same issues. I'll share my .blend file with you if you don't mind. – CorzaX24 Jan 27 '20 at 09:17

Right. Your texture wasn't connected to the UV map - it only used generated coordinates. I updated the answer :). – jachym michal Jan 27 '20 at 09:25
