Aligning objects using best-fit

Use this option to align multiple items that are already roughly aligned. The following example was roughly aligned using Edit tab > Align panel > Items, but the nose is not aligned correctly:

1. Click Edit tab > Align panel > Best-fit to display the Best-fit Align dialog:

   

2. Select the alignment items . These are the items that move.
3. Select the fixeditem . The fixed item does not move.

   

4. Click Apply. The alignment item moves to align with the fixed item. In this example, the alignment is satisfactory; if necessary adjust the deviation and mean error values to improve the alignment.

   

5. Click Cancel to accept the applied changes and close the dialog.

   

Tip: You can select multiple items before selecting Best-fit.

• One item is selected automatically to be the fixed item; you can change this selection if required.
• The items to be aligned are all highlighted in the primary colour; the fixed item is highlighted in the secondary colour (purple in the 2018 default colour scheme).
