Aligning, Distributing, and Resizing Groups of Blocks Automatically

The model editor's Format menu includes commands that let you quickly align, distribute, and resize groups of blocks. To align (or distribute or resize) a group of blocks:

1. Select the blocks that you want to align.

   

   One of the selected blocks displays empty selection handles. The model editor uses this block as the reference for aligning the other selected blocks. If you want another block to serve as the alignment reference, click that block.

2. Select one of the alignment options from the editor's Format > Align Blocks menu (or distribution options from the Format > Distribute Blocks or resize options from the Format > Resize Blocks menu). For example, selecting Align Top Edges aligns the top edges of the selected blocks with the top edge of the reference block.
