In this article we touch on a shortcut for aligning objects using the “Vertex” snap that is built into Unity.
In the “gif” below I will place two objects near to one another, it can be overwhelming when looking at a project to think “how can I align this object quickly?” the answer is…
This is the one I’m referring to…
This certainly does help make level-design more interesting and removes some of the alignment complexity.
So, you may be asking, how is that magic achieved… After highlighting the object, click and hold the “V” key down, you should see the directional pointer appear; locate the point that you wish to align, for me it was one of the lower vertices of the column, just like with other movements, drag the point to the point you wish to align to, then let go — as you can see I moved left/right to confirm the object was aligned — that’s it… if you’re not aware of this magical combination, you’ll thank me for knowing it now… Until next time — happy crafting…
