How to

  1. Add the Align node.

  2. Feed in the list of features to align — often from Read Static Layer, or a Map node collecting several drawn features into a list.

  3. Set "alignTo" to the edge or center you want them lined up on.

  4. Set "bearing" if you want the alignment direction rotated away from the default axis.
