Attach Align


Introduction:

Attach Align can attach a geometry on top of another geometry. It move the first geometry and attach it to the second one. 

After that, you can select the edges you want to align, then run it again and it will rotate the first geometry to align accordingly.

This addon is designed to be "non-intrusive". It does not change the normal operation of blender nor interfere other addons.


How to use

This addon has three functions, attach, align and slide.

Attach

1. Select two faces, first face from source geometry, second face from destination geometry.

2. Run the tool. Now the source geometry will be moved and rotated, so the first face is on top of second face.

Align

1. Select two edges, first edge from source geometry, second edge from destination geometry.

2. Run the tool. Now the source geometry will be rotated, so the first edge will be aligned to second edge.

Slide

1. Select one edge, on any geometry. 

2. Run the tool. Now move your cursor left and right to slide the geometry along the edge direction.

Options

You can connect two geometries after the Attach or Align operation. 

For Attach, it will replace the source and target faces by bridging. For Align, if there are overlapping faces linking to those edges, the overlapping faces will be replaced and bridged together.


Compatibility

This addon is tested on blender 2.83, 2.9
