The AutoAlign app provides a function to align Autodesk® Revit® Families in multiple directions at Top, Bottom, Left, Right, Center, Middle, Vertical Equal, or Horizontal Equal.

General Usage Instructions

1. To select the Revit family in the plan view.

- If you select an element and execute the command, the same element as the selected element category will be selected subsequently.

- If more than one is selected, the category of the selected family is selected, even if different.

- For the Horizontal/Vertical Same Alignment command, you can select two first, and the elements selected later will be automatically aligned between the two.

2. To select the AutoAlign icon on the ribbon menu in Revit.

-  Left: Aligns the selected elements to the left.

-  Center: Aligns the selected elements to the center.

-  Right: Aligns the selected elements to the right.

-  Top: Aligns the selected elements to the top.

-  Middle: Align the selected elements in the middle

-  Bottom: Align the selected elements in the bottom

-  Vertical Equal: Aligns the selected elements with the same spacing on the Y-axis.

-  Horizontal Equal: Aligns the selected elements with the same spacing on the X-axis.

-  Elbow Aligne: Align the elbows of elements to model or detail lines.

-  Up Offset: Offset overlapping elements so they don't overlap upwards.

-  Down Offset: Offset overlapping elements so they don't overlap downwards.

-  Left Offset: Offset overlapping elements so they don't overlap towards the left.

-  Right Offset: Offset overlapping elements so they don't overlap towards the right.

3. The selected family is retained so you can use the continue align command.
