Hello, I’m trying to center the highlighted body over the lower body. I’ve found lots on aligning to edges but in this case, I just need to center. Is this possible?

Cheers.

I‘d recommend using the Translate tool, with the snapping points in the middle of bodies.

Hi,

I would use the align tool, selecting the bottom surface of the highlighted body and the top surface of the lower body (instead of edges).
