# Align & Distribute

*Just the Right Alignment*

Instantly redistribute multiple SubTools, or the geometry within a single SubTool with a single button press. Similar to alignment features found in other programs, you can now align meshes to the left, right or center, and by the top or bottom edges.

---

## How Align & Distribute Work

Align and Distribute work on visible meshes. If you have Solo mode on, or the other SubTools are hidden, the separate meshes that compose a single SubTool can be aligned or distributed. If you have several or all SubTools showing, then those SubTools will be aligned or distributed.

**Important!**

Important Note: Meshes are aligned or distributed based on the screen view.
