Align

Line things up and space them out, like a drawing app.

The line-up-and-space-out controls you'd get in any drawing app, minus the part where Revit doesn't have them.

Align Top

Free

Line a selection up to its top element.

Snaps everything you've selected up to the topmost element (north, relative to the view you're in). Squares off a crooked row in one click.

Align Bottom

Free

Line a selection up to its bottom element.

Align Top, the other direction: everything drops to the bottommost element (south, relative to the view). The quick way to set a clean baseline.

Align Left

Free

Line a selection up to its left element.

Snaps the selection to the leftmost element, based on how the view's turned. Cleans up a ragged left edge.

Align Right

Free

Line a selection up to its right element.

The mirror of Align Left: everything moves out to the rightmost element. Tidies up the right side of a group.

Align Center (Vertical)

Free

Center a selection on its vertical middle.

The horizontal version, turned 90. Everything settles onto the selection's average vertical center line.

Align Center (Horizontal)

Free

Center a selection on its horizontal middle.

Instead of snapping to an edge, this balances the whole selection on its average horizontal center line. Good when there’s no obvious element to line up to.

Distribute Vertically

Free

Space a selection out evenly, top to bottom.

The same even spacing, stacked. Good for anything that should sit on a regular rhythm top to bottom.

Distribute Horizontally

Free

Space a selection out evenly, left to right.

Sets even gaps between the centers of your selected elements, left to right. Fix the two ends, run it, and everything in between spreads out evenly.
