About Pro Align Tools

Pro Align Tools is a Blender add-on for aligning many objects at once, working interactively in the 3D viewport. It operates in Object Mode and shows real‑time previews of where objects will be placed as you navigate, select, move, rotate and scale them. The default Auto‑alignment mode selects a projection plane, origin, direction, orientation and depth with a single click. Gizmos composed of three axes let you choose the alignment side and base point directly in the view, while sidebar buttons set the negative, center or positive direction of the plane normal. You can manually pick any projection plane and origin, align in Global, Local, View, Perpendicular or Custom orientations, and capture a plane from mesh geometry using Shift + P on a face. Call the tool with Ctrl + Alt + A and confirm with Enter; a dynamic projection plane follows your objects, colored by axis, and invalid parallel projections appear in red.

Features

  • Aligns many objects at once interactively in the 3D viewport, in Object Mode
  • Auto-alignment picks a preset combination of projection plane, origins, direction, orientation and depth with a single click
  • Gizmos combining three axes to select the alignment side and base point, plus sidebar buttons for the negative, center and positive directions of the plane normal
  • Up to 5 orientations for direction (Global, Local, View, Perpendicular, Custom) and 4 for the projection plane (Global, Local, View, Custom)
  • Pick a projection plane from mesh geometry with Shift + P, or from any combination of vertices, edges and faces
  • Place the projection plane at an offset by dragging the mouse or typing an exact distance along its normal
  • Real-time feedback with a dynamic projection plane colored by the axis in use; invalid parallel projections are highlighted in red

Best for

Blender artists who need to align large numbers of objects quickly, such as architectural visualization and motion graphics workflows that rely on global coordinate alignment.
