Hi!

I've watched the video several times and have similar objects set-up to mimic what is being demonstrated. I'm not getting the same results; and it's probably because I'm missing something. For instance: I selected "Align Edges" tool; then I selected the edge of the largest object (as demonstrated); then holding down the "CTRL" key, I select the first small box; immediately the first box stretches out in a wedge shape and aligns itself with the larger box; only one object is effected -- if I click on the other small box, nothing happens. It looks pretty simple after viewing the video -- guess I could use some additional help. I've attached a picture to illustrate my point.

By the way, your other tools are outstanding especially the S4U to Components (already made a faceted table base and posted it on 3D Warehouse). So thanks for sharing! Jo

i think this is great, it could increase workflow quite a bit
some issues: it seems to flip things upside down when I don't intend on it sometimes -

also I think the selection process should be opposite of what it is. right now you select target first and then the object you want aligned, but it makes a lot more sense to select the object you are working on and want to move to be selected first.

oh ya when you click the link to download in the sketchucation store plugin, SKP crashes

You can see status bar for instruction,

press Tab for change "align" or "align and move"

2-then press Ctrl if you want multiselect
3-select aligned edge(face)
4-press again Ctrl for finish select.

Wonderful plugin! Thanks! I use the Q JS Align plugin all the time but it works only along the three axes and I believe your plugin will go on top of the most used list now.

Thanks for the plugin, I created the Spanish Language File. I changed in the translation:

Ctrl --> Ctrl(Pc)/Alt(Mac)

The Ctrl key doesn't work on Mac.

Oops! my bad, that file was from your Version 1.0.5. I believe you did not have a toolbar with that version, so I added a toolbar. Note, it didn't crash until this version. So why would I rename a file when adding a toolbar. Because I name the icon with the number, and add the number to the tool text. This way I have a reference on what the icon's plugin is, and what the is the name of the icon. On some plugins, it is almost impossible to associate the toolbar icon with the actual RB file. So I guess it caught up to me.

So thank you. Will now be more careful.
