Align

Align

The Align command lines up the bounding boxes of objects and object grips.

• When SubD faces, edges, or vertices are selected (with Ctrl+Shift), the associated control points are aligned.

Steps

1. Select the objects to align, and press Enter.

2. Specify an alignment option.

3. Pick a location, or press Enter to align based on the overall bounding box of all selected objects.

Command-line options

AlignTo

• CPlane: Aligns objects using construction plane coordinates.

• World: Aligns objects using world coordinates.

Bottom: Aligns objects by the bottom-most locations of their bounding boxes.

Concentric: Aligns objects by the horizontal and vertical centers of their bounding boxes.

HorizCenter: Aligns objects by the horizontal centers of their bounding boxes.

Left: Aligns objects by the left-most locations of their bounding boxes.

Right: Aligns objects by the right-most locations of their bounding boxes.

Top: Aligns objects by the left-most locations of their bounding boxes.

VertCenter: Aligns objects by the vertical centers of their bounding boxes.

Steps

1. Select the objects to align, and press Enter.

2. Specify an alignment option.

3. Pick a location, or press Enter to align based on the overall bounding box of all selected objects.

Command-line options

-AlignTo

• CPlane

Aligns objects using construction plane coordinates.

• World

Aligns objects using world coordinates.

-Bottom

Aligns objects by the bottom-most locations of their bounding boxes.

-Concentric

Aligns objects by the horizontal and vertical centers of their bounding boxes.

-HorizCenter

Aligns objects by the horizontal centers of their bounding boxes.

-Left

Aligns objects by the left-most locations of their bounding boxes.

-Right

Aligns objects by the right-most locations of their bounding boxes.

-Top

-ToCurve

Pulls points to the selected curve.

-ToLine

Pulls points to a line defined by picking two points.

-ToFitPlane

Pulls points to the best fitting plane of the points.

At least four points are required for this alignment type.

-ToPlane

Pulls points to a plane defined by picking two points and the CPlane or World z-axis based on the AlignTo option. The selected objects or grips will not move in the z-axis.

-3Points

Pick three points to define the alignment plane.
