Modeling Align objects

You can align objects using handle snapping:

1. Select the first object with the Transform tool and press to finish the selection.

2. Press T to switch to the translate manipulator.

3. To temporarily detach the manipulator from the object, select the handle and press ' .

4. Press on the handle and choose Align Handle > Start Orientation Picking. Click two adjacent edges of a face on the object to move the manipulator to their intersection.

5. Press ' again to reattach the manipulator to the geometry, so moving the manipulator will move the geometry along with it.

6. Press on the handle and choose Align Handle > Start Orientation Picking. This time, click two adjacent edges of a face on the other object to move the manipulator to their intersection.

   When you snap the first object’s manipulator to the edges on the other object, it moves and orients the first object.
