Why we like it

Align Magic stands out in the superhive library for keeping object alignment to a small set of steps — pick an axis, set a spacing value, and align to the active object from a single sidebar panel.

What is Align Magic?

Align Magic is a Blender add-on that aligns multiple objects to the last selected object, using that active object as the anchor point. You pick a single axis — X, Y, or Z — for the alignment, and the remaining axes match the reference object.

Spacing is set with a numeric value, and both positive and negative numbers are supported for directional control. The interface is a minimal panel that lives in the 3D View sidebar, the N-panel. The workflow is short: select your objects with the reference last, open the Align Magic panel, choose an axis, enter a spacing value, and click Align Objects.

The add-on covers organizing assets, creating patterns, and managing layouts in 3D space. It is compatible with Blender 3.0 and later, listed against versions up to 4.4, and is released under the GPL license.

Frequently asked questions

Which Blender versions does Align Magic support?

Align Magic lists compatibility with Blender 3.0 and every release up through 4.4, covering the 3.x series from 3.1 to 3.6 and the 4.x series from 4.0 to 4.4. If you are working in a version within that range, the add-on is intended to work. For releases newer than those listed, check the developer's page on superhive for the latest compatibility details before installing.

How do I align objects with Align Magic?

Align Magic follows a short sequence inside Blender. Select the objects you want to arrange, making sure the reference object is the last one selected so it becomes the active anchor. Open the Align Magic panel in the 3D View sidebar, pick an alignment axis of X, Y, or Z, enter a spacing value, then click Align Objects. The chosen axis is spaced while the other axes match the reference object.

Does Align Magic support negative spacing values?

Align Magic accepts both positive and negative spacing values, which the developer describes as directional control. You enter the number in the sidebar panel before clicking Align Objects, and the sign of that value determines the direction of spacing along the chosen axis. The other axes stay matched to the reference object, so only the chosen axis reflects the spacing you set.

Is Align Magic free, and what license does it use?

Align Magic is listed as free here in the catalog. Licensing and pricing can change over time, so check the developer's page on superhive for the current terms before you rely on it. The add-on is distributed under the GPL license, which is the standard open license used across Blender add-ons and covers how you can use and modify the code.
