Blender Market – Pro Align Tools v2.1.2

Workflow

• Select your objects
• Pick a projection plane
• Press Align Objects or hit Enter!

Overview

Pro Align Tools is intended to be used in Object Mode.

Interactivity is the natural state of the Tool, previewing in realtime where will objects sit after alignment while navigating, selecting, moving, rotating and scaling your objects.

Auto-Alignment

The predetermined mode of operation is Auto-alignment, a fast way of picking automatically a combination of projection plane, origins, direction, orientation and depth to align your objects with a single click.

By using the gizmos, you can change the side (depth) of alignment relative to the projection plane, by selecting it directly in the 3D View.

You can also change the side by using the Tool buttons in the Sidebar. These button are similar to those in 2D applications. They just mean the negative, center and positive direction of plane normal.

Gizmos

The auto-alignment gizmos are a combination of 3 axes, providing an easy selection of the alignment side, and the base point.

Reference points for Gizmos

The Gizmos have different convenient base points, referring to the selected objects and the possible places at which the plane can be set.

Finer control

You can pick any projection plane and origin point of your choice at any time.
