Solution without plugin to align Viewport to an object, to a face ...etc

[harnelbe]

Question often asked to me.

The solution is simple :

1. Helpers
   
2. Standard
   
3. Grid
   
4. Check Autogrid radio box in the parameters of the Helper Object Grid
   
5. Create the grid on the surface you want to be align on
   
6. Right Click the viewport
   
7. Activate Grid
   
8. On the left top part of the viewport, Left Click on the actual name of the viewport
   
9. Click on Extended Viewport
   
10. Grid
    
11. Top
    

 

Tadddaaaa !

 

When editing is finished, delete the grid...

 

I hope it will help users
