Align 3D texture gone?

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 06:27:24 GMT

What happened to the "Align 3D Texture" drop down option that was available in every past release before AC21?

It used to be in the Design drop down menu, and was quite helpful if I wanted to center a wall fill to a ridge on a gable end, for example.

Steve and other Mac users... MacOS has always had a feature to make it super easy to find menu commands regardless of where they are. Enter the command in the Search field of the Help menu and all matching instances will be listed. As you hover over the matches, the corresponding menus will visually unfold showing you the command location ... or you can just click and perform the command. 🙂

Karl,

Wow... you mean I've been using this thing for 11 years and didn't know that!?

That is incredibly handy.

🙂 We can't know everything, try as we might. 😉

Rather than click, I should have mentioned you can just use the arrow keys and the return key as well. So, start typing 'align', then since your hands are on the keyboard anyway, just arrow down at the matching commands and press Return to run the command (vs hover/click option).
