Hi MACHIN3,

is there a way to align an object to a face?

Something like

> [@Align objects by faces](https://blenderartists.org/t/align-objects-by-faces/572981):
>
> I just created a script to align two objects by their faces. It’s probably less complete than [Precise\_Align](http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Extensions:2.6/Py/Scripts/3D_interaction/Precise_Align) but is very quick to use and doesn’t require an empty object. You just select the faces you want to align in edit mode and call the operator, either via a custom hotkey or using the “search” panel (it doesn’t have any GUI for now). Wiki page: [http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Extensions:2.6/Py/Scripts/3D\_interaction/Align\_by\_faces](http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Extensions:2.6/Py/Scripts/3D_interaction/Align_by_faces) Download: [https://raw.github.com/trethaller/blender-addo…](https://raw.github.com/trethaller/blender-addons/master/space_view3d_align_faces.py)

or

> [@\[Addon\] Copy Object to Selected](https://blenderartists.org/t/addon-copy-object-to-selected/649907):
>
> Howdy, this is my first post on [blenderartists.org](http://blenderartists.org) forums and my first attempt at addon creation with python. As you should already guessed from the preceding lines, I’m new to python and to the blender programming world in general. I just hope for you to take it easy with me :D. I know the code could be vastly optimized and condensed, but for me was a great exercise as a beginner. Feel free to make any changes to the code and use it in any project as you like. I don’t know if the GPL licens…
