Linkage Object Aligner

About

The Object Aligner add-on for Blender enables users to position objects relative to the world origin, offering a more intuitive workflow. For automotive designers, this means they can place a model above the X-axis and behind the Z-axis, instead of the default positioning around the world origin in Blender. This alignment mirrors the workflow designers are accustomed to, helping to create a more familiar and seamless experience when using Blender.
