Key Features


Editor-Only & Performance-Optimized

Runs entirely in Edit mode and automatically disables itself in Play mode, ensuring zero runtime impact.
Only object positions are adjusted. Rotation, scale, and all other properties remain untouched.


Zero Setup Required

Simply add the LayoutGuidesEasy component to a parent object and it works instantly with all child elements.
No additional setup, no components required on children. Smart guides, snapping, and alignment are available immediately.


Manual Guides

Create and drag layout guides for X, Y, and Z axes in both UI and 3D scenes.
Guides can be locked to prevent accidental movement and customized with different colors and line styles.
In 3D mode, guides appear as semi-transparent planes and can be hidden until snapping occurs.


Center Snap Between Guides
When two manual guides exist on the same axis, objects can snap precisely to the center between them.
Supports X, Y, and Z axes, with simultaneous multi-axis center snapping (for example, X and Y at the same time).


Visual Snap Feedback

Provides clear visual feedback with an outline glow when an object is within snapping range.
This makes snapping behavior predictable and easy to understand while positioning objects.


Smart Guides

Smart guides appear automatically while dragging objects.

  • UI elements: 9-point alignment (left, center, right, top, middle, bottom)
  • 3D objects: Border-to-border snapping on all axes

Guides are displayed only between the objects being aligned, keeping the Scene view clean.


Equal Spacing

Detects evenly spaced groups of three or more objects and displays spacing indicators.
Helps maintain consistent spacing across all axes during layout adjustments.


Distance Display

Displays real-time distance values between objects when their bounds overlap on one axis.
Inspired by distance indicators in tools like Canva and Figma.
Text and background colors are fully customizable.


Multi-Mode Support

Fully supports:

  • Canvas render modes: Screen Space Overlay, Screen Space Camera, World Space
  • Standard 3D objects using Renderer or Collider bounds
