This lesson covers the Align and Distribute tools in Rive, which allow for precise positioning of objects. It explains how these tools behave contextually depending on the number of selected objects—either aligning relative to the artboard or to each other. You will also learn how to use distribution tools to create equal spacing between multiple elements.
- Context Matters: Always double-check your selection count to understand if you are aligning to the artboard or to the other selected shapes.
- Layout Workflow: For clean layouts, align small parts first, group them, and then use the group to align against the larger composition.
- Precision: Distribute tools eliminate the need for manual pixel-counting when creating lists, menus, or repetitive UI elements.
