Why we like it

Simple Align Tools earns its place in the superhive library as a focused, single-purpose add-on: it aligns selected objects to a target object's position, rotation, and scale, nothing more. The position base options and local-axis rotation give it some range within that narrow scope.

What is Simple Align Tools?

Simple Align Tools is a Blender add-on that aligns selected objects to a target object. It focuses on three alignment operations, letting you match a group of selected objects to one chosen target across position, rotation, and scale.

The position alignment offers minimum, maximum, center, or origin base options for how objects line up with the target. Rotation alignment matches selected objects to the target object's rotation on the local axis, and scale alignment matches selected objects to the target object's scale.

The add-on works across a wide range of Blender releases, from the 2.8x and 2.9x series through 3.0 up to 4.2. It's released under the GPL license, ships with documentation, and is at version 1.0.0, its initial release. A demo video is available for those who want to see more.

Frequently asked questions

Does Simple Align Tools work with Blender 4.2?

Simple Align Tools supports a broad span of Blender releases, from the 2.8x and 2.9x series through 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2. That range covers most versions in active use, so you can bring it into an older project file or a current install. If you run a version outside this list, check the developer's page to confirm compatibility before relying on it in production work.

What position alignment options does Simple Align Tools offer?

Simple Align Tools aligns the position of selected objects to a target object, and the position feature includes minimum, maximum, center, and origin base options for how that match is calculated. Alongside position, the add-on aligns selected objects to a target object's rotation on the local axis, and matches selected objects to a target object's scale. Together these cover position, rotation, and scale alignment against a chosen target. For the exact behaviour of each option, the developer's page and included documentation are the place to look.

Is Simple Align Tools free?

Simple Align Tools is listed as free here. Licensing and pricing can change over time, so for current terms it's best to check the developer's page directly. The add-on is released under the GPL license, which is common across Blender add-ons. If you need details on redistribution or how the license applies to your own projects, the developer's page and the GPL text itself are the authoritative references for those details.

What version is Simple Align Tools at?

Simple Align Tools is at version 1.0.0, marked as the initial release. As a first release, it delivers the core alignment operations: aligning the position, rotation, and scale of selected objects to a target object. For any later updates or changes beyond this initial version, the developer's page is the place to check. Documentation is included with the product, which is useful for working through the position options and the local-axis rotation behaviour.
