In a more complex project, it is even needed to union everything, or the STL can be completely beyond repair. As an example, in one project I have hundreds of screws and nuts. All just ‘markers’. Placing them by-eye will under the building phase is visually OK for rendering, but not for STL. It is possible to do all screw heads and ‘nuts longer’ so the by-eye erro… > [@Align tool one axis options](https://discourse.shapr3d.com/t/align-tool-one-axis-options/38319): > > By having the one axis align tool option will reduce a multi step process down to a two step process. The majority of times I use the move tool combined with the measure tool to achieve the results that the align tool would give if you could be limited to one axis of movement.
