Normal Align

Developer: AR Utilities

Download Free

Blender add-on that snaps one object onto another by matching face normals, with click-and-drag and snapping.

What Normal Align does

AR Utilities' Normal Align joins two objects together by their face normals. Press and drag on the part you want to move, then on the destination, and the first object lines up with the second.

Launch it from the object context menu or with Alt+A; a helper marker follows you while you position. Holding Ctrl turns on vertex snapping with the candidate vertices and face midpoint displayed, and Ctrl+Alt switches to edge snapping, marking the end vertices and the middle of the edge. Modelers assembling parts find it quick.
