Face Aligner

One-Click Face Alignment

• Select any two faces on different mesh objects; the add-on automatically calculates the necessary rotation and translation to bring the first face flush against the second.

• No need to manually compute normals or pivots—Face & Edge Align handles it for you.

Optional Edge Matching

• If you want even tighter control, enable “Align Edges” in the sidebar or pie menu. After choosing two faces, you can also pick one edge from each face. The add-on then twists the first object so that the selected edges become perfectly parallel (or anti-parallel), ensuring seamless continuity along edges.

• Ideal for matching panels, pipes, or any scenario where the faces share a common seam.

Live Visual Feedback

• When hovering or selecting, pink markers appear at each face’s center, and an outline highlights whichever face is under your cursor. Once both faces are selected, a semi-transparent pink line connects their centers—so you always know exactly what will happen before you click.

• If edge alignment is enabled, the chosen edges are highlighted in a darker pink, and live labels (“Edge 1”/“Edge 2”) identify which edge you’re about to snap.

User-Friendly Interface

• Pie Menu Shortcut (default Alt+A): Quickly access “Face Align” or toggle edge-alignment in a single radial menu.

• Sidebar Panel (N-panel): A dedicated “Face & Edge Align” tab includes a checkbox for edge alignment and a big “Face Align” button—everything you need is right at your fingertips.

• Configurable Hotkey: In Add-on Preferences, choose your own key (with Ctrl/Shift/Alt modifiers) to summon the pie menu.

Robust Modal Operator

• Remains responsive even when you rotate, pan, or zoom the 3D View. Selection states persist until you complete or cancel, so you never lose your progress.

• Press Esc or Right-Click at any time to cancel the operation and reset visuals.

Compatibility

• Tested on Blender 3.6 LTS through 4.4 (and beyond).

• Works on both object mode and edit mode (converting selections appropriately), supporting complex, multi-object scenes.
