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.

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.

-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.
