Is there some way to make the Scale Tool stop when multiple selected verts or edges are aligned, like in Max? I’ve noticed that you can overshoot when trying to align this way. I suppose there is always snapping to grid… Thanks

You can snap to curves holding the (c) key, snap to verts holding the (v) key, and snap to grid holding the (x) key.
Make sure ‘retain component spacing’ is unchecked in the move options though - if your trying to snap them all to the same constraint.

n8skow,

I found what I was looking for. If you hold down the “J” key, when you use the scale tool, you can align all selected verts along a specific axis. Thanks for replying though!
