Object Alignment

Precise alignment creates professional-looking models.

Using Snap

Enable Snap to align objects to the grid:

1. 1Click the magnet icon in toolbar


2. 2Objects snap to 0.5 unit increments


3. 3Great for positioning on grid lines

Manual Alignment

For precise alignment without snap:

1. 1Note the position of object A


2. 2Set object B to the same value

Example - Align two boxes on X:

• Box A at X = 2.0


• Set Box B to X = 2.0

Center Points

Objects position from their center:

• A 1-unit cube at Y=0 extends from Y=-0.5 to Y=0.5


• To sit ON the grid, set Y = half the height

Sitting on Ground

For an object to sit on Y=0:

Y position = height / 2

Example: 2-unit tall box → Y = 1.0

Stacking Objects

To stack objects:

Top object Y = Bottom Y + (Bottom height/2) + (Top height/2)

Example:

• Bottom box: height 1, Y = 0.5


• Top box: height 0.5, Y = 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 = 1.25

Visual Alignment

Use orthographic view for precise visual alignment:

• Switch camera type in toolbar


• View from top, front, or side


• No perspective distortion
