About 3 Points Align
3 Points Align is a Blender add‑on for aligning and snapping one object to another using a three‑line system. Users draw lines from the target mesh to the source, gaining full control over the object’s placement. The add‑on can recalculate rotation, match scale, and automatically find the diameter of cylindrical objects. It operates with applied transforms on both source and target meshes and integrates with the modifiers stack, allowing alignment without needing to reset prior changes. The interface is designed for minimal interaction steps. The add‑on supports Blender versions 3.4 through 5.0 and is released under the GPL license.
