To me, this align tool and the new snapping tool used together are real time savers. Thanks!!!

Nice vid just wondering is there a way to align them like 2 rows of 4 for example? so say I want to make a tiled room and I want each tile to be aligned so there is no gap?

Thank you sooo much! Why, in gods name, does Blender have important tools disabled under Addons?! Thank you for showing where this option to turn Align on actually is. Love you man. ❤
