To Evenly Space Linework or Objects

Use this procedure to space a collection of existing architectural objects, linework, or blocks at an equal distance from each other. For example, if you have windows along walls that are not colinear, you can space the windows evenly across the entire facade by specifying points along an axis. You can use this procedure with hatches, lines, polylines, arcs, circles, AEC polygons, mass element extrusions, spaces, or any block-based content (including detail components) made up of these types of linework or objects.

  1. Select the linework, object, or block to space.
  2. Click Home tabModify panelAlign drop-downSpace Evenly.
  3. Select an edge as the axis along which to space all the objects evenly, and specify a start point and an endpoint along the edge; or press Enter, and specify two points between which the objects will be spaced evenly from each other.
    Note: For example, if you select two objects to be spaced between two points, the spacing of the objects is from the specified start point to the center of the first object, from the center of the first object to the center of the second object, and from the center of the second object to the specified endpoint.
