Aligns objects with other objects in 2D and 3D
You use ALIGN to move, rotate, or scale objects into alignment with other objects. Add source points to the objects you want to align, and add destination points to the objects to which you want the source objects to align. You can add up to three pairs of source and destination points to align an object.
The first set of source and destination points defines the base point for the alignment. The second set of points defines the angle of rotation.
When you select three point pairs, you can move and rotate the selected objects in 3D to align with other objects.
If you use two source and destination points to perform a 3D alignment on nonperpendicular working planes, you get unpredictable results.
After you enter the points, Takeoff prompts you to scale the object. The program uses the distance between the first and second destination points as the reference length to which the object is scaled. Scaling is available only when you are aligning objects using two point pairs.
