I have uploaded my Alignment Macro to the NewTek BBS and to Genie.
(AlignLWM.lzh) I don't have access to Tomahawk, so someone should copy
it there please.

This macro should greatly improve your models, and save you time. It
incorporates centering capability AND alignment. It will run on Amiga
version 3.5, and hopefully 4.x.

Features:

Allows you to align in any direction to the origin (0,0,0).

Allows you to select any direction that no movement will occur.

Allows you to combine movement relative to the reference object, the
origin, and no movement in any direction in a single requester call.

Alligns/centers multiple objects/points/polys in multiple foreground
layers to multiple objects/points/polys in multiple background layers.

You can use all points/polys in foreground layers as the reference for
movement, or only selected points.

You can move all points, or only the selected points.

You can limit the points/polys being used for background reference by
simply hiding the others before calling the macro.


Examples:

Take a pencil, and hang it off the rhino's horn. To do this, put the
rhino in one layer, the pencil in another. Select the point(s) at the
tip of the horn, and hide unselected. Go to the layer with the pencil
and select the point(s) at the tip. Select the rhino layer as the
background and call the macro.

Want to place a lamp onto a desk? Select the lamp (thing to move) in
the foreground and desk (reference) in the background. When the macro
is called, select the "+Y" (top) of the desk from the requester, and
the "-Y" (bottom) of the lamp. When you hit ok, the object is moved.

Check it out, and drop me some feedback. All work is my own, so be
gentle. :) I need to know if it runs on 4.x, and I want opinions for
improvement.
