<h1>Align Selection Window</h1>
<p>
The <b>Align Selection Window</b> moves the selected
portion of the model so that the minimum, maximum, or center values
of a given coordinate axis
are aligned along a specified value of the axis. For example,
if you have a cube you can use the <b>Align Selection</b> window
to align the left or right (minimum or maximum, respectively) side of
the cube with the axis (0.0) or any other value for X. The shape
of the selected portion of the model remains unchanged.
</p>
<p>
<b>Tip</b>: If all you want to do is align the center of the
selected geometry to a specific location, it may be easier to
use the <a href="olh_properties.html#position">Position</a>
Properties panel.
</p>
<p>
The <b>Align Selection Window</b> is composed of three frames,
one for each model dimension. Each frame contains a text entry
box to enter a numerical value and three radio buttons for aligning the
minimum, center, and maximum vertex values with the numerical value.
The <b>Align Now</b> buttons change the alignment of the selected
model region.
</p>
<p>
Alignment values are as follows:
</p>
<table border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" >
<tr> <td> </td> <td> minimum </td> <td> center </td> <td> maximum </td> </tr>
<tr> <td> X </td> <td> left </td> <td> center </td> <td> right </td> </tr>
<tr> <td> Y </td> <td> bottom </td> <td> center </td> <td> top </td> </tr>
<tr> <td> Z </td> <td> back (far) </td> <td> center </td> <td> front (near) </td> </tr>
</table>
