Arrangement of Objects (Align Objects)

MA 3D allows automatic arrangement of 3D objects. Therefore select the objects to arrange via 'Ctrl + mouse click’ or multiple selections in the assets tree. Via the menu entry 'Functions - Arrangement’ the Arrangement Window opens:

 Objects can be arranged in several ways like:- Moved along the X,Y,Z axis- Moved along a circle line in X,Y,Z space- Arrange in a 2D matrix Corresponding to the grandMA2 console alignment function objects can be arranged in relation to the origin object like:- <, >, ><, and <>If the 'Relative’ flag is set every push of the 'Apply’ button increments the arrangement by the given value. Note: The origin is 0,0,0 if the 'Relative’ flag is off. Otherwise it is the own position.
Example: Several objects inserted into the Stage View at the origin (0,0,0).
Objects aligned via 'Move’ and 'Align <’ function along the X-axis.

Objects aligned as a matrix via 'Matrix (2D)’ function.
