How can I easily select and arrange multiple objects in EasyBuilder Pro?

Tags:

  • FAQ
  • EBPro

EasyBuilder Pro allows users to select multiple objects and configure/arrange them in groups. Use the mouse to click/drag a selection box around the objects. Alternatively, hold the Ctrl key and click on each object:

BLUE squares mark the Outline of all selected objects. RED squares mark the outline of the Dominant object selected. BLACK squares mark the outline of Non-dominant objects selected.

The final object clicked while holding the Ctrl key will become the Dominant object in that selection.

Alignment tools for organizing selected objects in a uniform fashion can be found under “Home” > “Arrange” in an open EBPro project. Multiple tools are available:

From left to right/top to down, the list of tools are:
