how to get items straight?

T Cal · 10-15-2009

im having trouble with lining up objects straight with another object like 2 walls in a row, the first is straight but the second one is not. is there an easy and fast way to do this? and also is there an easy to place the first one straight?

Not straight as in leaning, or not straight as in it not being lined up?

Use items to brace it, such as walls and double boxes.

Visual:

The box on the right side is called the "brace". Place one box down (top left in image) and then another box halfway along the length of the box (right side of image). Be sure this box is straight because if it is crooked, your next box will be too. Next, place the box on the short side of the box (bottom in the image) and fit it tightly in the corner formed by the two boxes.

To line up the first box, you can push the box up against the Foundry walls or any straight surface. It should correct itself when you do that. :)
