I want to align 2 objects and have been looking for the arrange tool for several days. I have gone through all menues many times, right clicked on the objects, turning on all toolbars I can find. But I cannot find the arrange tool anywhere. HELP!!! And yes, first I have selected more than one object… ---

You can use Move and Rotate tools to align the objects or you can install an extension. Basics of SketchUp at [learn.sketchup.com](http://learn.sketchup.com) and [SketchUp - YouTube](http://youtube.com/@SketchUp). ---

Thanks. The move function will just align as accurate as I can place it with the mouse, I presume? And the arrange function which is referred to a lot of places (including in SketchUp help) is not there? So there is an align function in an extension. Do you know how to find the right extension? ---

The inferencing system (what other applications call “snap”) is at the heart of SketchUp. Take the free tutorials at [learn.sketchup.com](http://learn.sketchup.com) and watch the videos at the Sketchup Youtube channel to learn how it works. ---

I have seen the same ARRANGE tool referenced in a tutorial, it’s a function in LAYOUT and not Sketchup… That said, once again I am feeling crazy because I swear a few months ago there was, in fact, an “align” tool which was in the “tool” menu — but I don’t see it any more. I drift back and forth between two universes where sketchup is different.
