There are many alignment options available in Maya so there are many different ways to achieve a similar outcome. When using the Align Tool with flat objects you may &#8220;lose&#8221; manipulators along particular axes such as the Y axis when you have a flat plane in the selection. I think most people would simply switch to one of the other alignment options in order to achieve the result they are looking for.<\/p>\n<p>The Align Tool is actually functioning correctly, albeit not very user-friendly. Because the flat plane is so small the manipulator icons have &#8220;disappeared&#8221; into the corner. These manipulators are actually still available. You need to &#8220;zoom&#8221; into the corner of the selection to access them!<\/p>\n<div><div style=\"padding-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px;font-size:10pt;font-family:arial;font-weight:bold;\">Share this post!<\/div><div class=simplesocial><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" data-url=\"https:\/\/blurrypixel.com\/?p=2348\" data-text=\"Maya+Align+Tool+with+Flat+Objects\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-count=\"horizontal\">Tweet<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script><\/div><div class=simplesocial><iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fblurrypixel.com%2F%3Fp%3D2348&layout=standard&show_faces=false&width=450&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=35\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:25px;\" allowTransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/div><div style=\"clear:both\"><\/div><a class=simplesocial onclick=\"return simplesocial(this,500,400)\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" style=\"background:url(http:\/\/blurrypixel.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-social-sharing-widgets-icons\/icons_32\/facebook.png)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fblurrypixel.com%2F%3Fp%3D2348&t=Maya+Align+Tool+with+Flat+Objects\"><\/a><a class=simplesocial onclick=\"return simplesocial(this,435,500)\" title=\"Email a Friend\" style=\"background:url(http:\/\/blurrypixel.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-social-sharing-widgets-icons\/icons_32\/email.png)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.freetellafriend.com\/tell\/?heading=Share+This+Article&bg=1&option=email&url=https%3A%2F%2Fblurrypixel.com%2F%3Fp%3D2348\"><\/a><a class=simplesocial onclick=\"return simplesocial(this,700,500)\" title=\"Share on Reddit\" style=\"background:url(http:\/\/blurrypixel.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-social-sharing-widgets-icons\/icons_32\/reddit.png)\" href=\"http:\/\/reddit.com\/submit?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblurrypixel.com%2F%3Fp%3D2348&title=Maya+Align+Tool+with+Flat+Objects\"><\/a><a class=simplesocial title=\"RSS Feed\" style=\"background:url(http:\/\/blurrypixel.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-social-sharing-widgets-icons\/icons_32\/rss.png)\" href=\"http:\/\/blurrypixel.com\/?feed=rss2\"><\/a><\/div><div style=\"clear:both;margin-bottom:20px\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; I wanted to share this quick tip video for Maya&#8217;s Align Tool.
