    Not user friendly at all. This addon is not intuitive at all even for an experimented Blender user like myself.

      Hi Jevpro. If you had some trouble using it, you could have contacted me first. Most of the doubts are solved by checking the Documentation. Since this is an addon targeted at alignments with very specific configurations, it is most useful when used that way.

    Cool script! I have three pieces for a castle, I want to be center and 3 of them goes on top each other?

      Hi Elvis! If you want support or help when using the tool, please send me a direct message with the button "Contact Creator". We will be able to talk about your case in more detail, since reviews only allow one answer and are not appropriate to solve problems.
      And sorry for the late response.

    Instead of speeding up my workflow this addon is slowing me down. I just want to align objects quickly, but this addon is too complicated and counterintuitive. Too bad.

      Pro Align Tools is not like other addons. It was designed with flexibility in mind, not necessarily speed (applied when possible however).
      There's an extra step added: The Alignment Plane. You can control and preview this plane 'before' the alignment takes place. This of course has the side effect of slowing down the general process a little bit, but you gain a lot more in flexibility and alignment configurations. By previewing the alignment you can make all the adjustments needed before applying the operator, and then perform the operation just once, whereas in operator based addons with lots of panels, you have to click buttons and undo the whole operation if the result is not what you were looking for. There's a lot of trial and error with that last paradigm.
      The addon also comes with three main selection modes which you shouldn't confuse together when learning:
      - Auto-Align. The default mode, selects Plane, Origin, and Side of alignment in one click.
      - Plane selection mode
      - Origin selection mode
      To master these modes and the available shortcuts, check the included Documentation.

    Very useful. Takes a little getting used to, but there's nothing quite like this. Happily using it with Blender 3.0

    Great addon, but in 3.0 (don't know if it's broken in older versions) the custom popover doesn't draw

      Thanks Daniel,
      please note that Blender version 3.0 is still under development and the addon will not be compatible with it until its final release.

    The best aligning tool by far!~ used when you have too many objects scattered around and you just want to align them in X Y or Z

    It takes some time to get use to the gizmo and logic behind it...well logical for me, that is :P. A more in-depth Tutorial Video would also be appriciate. Apart frrom that...love the addon. Keep it up :)

    I haven't been able to use this addon as it doesn't obey UI scaling. The gizmo is not very useful this way and seems like this is complicating what would otherwise be an easy task. I'll update my review if/when the author updates the addon.

      Hi Xen,
      In the recent version 2.1.4, HiDPI support have been added, scaling the UI elements according to your OS configuration and the Resolution Scale in Blender Preferences.
      Just go to your downloads and you should find the new version available.
      Cheers!

    Too be honest, the product didn't help, rather it is quite complicated that it need its own tutorial, the gizmo is such a mess, its everywhere. the vertex snap tools from blender 2.8x is way more intuitive. and please don't over simplified the process when you promoting your add on, click this select this and done, but in reality its just much more complicated.
