<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;">Hi Pranav,<div class="">I could not reproduce this behavior. Are you sure you did not do a small Z-rotation after tiling? That might explain the appearance. I.e. first the models are laid out horizontally but then the whole view is rotated slightly clockwise. I can't distinguish that visually from a stepped layout since the rotation is small.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Try untiling (undo) and retiling and making sure not to rotate anything afterward. Or, if tiling does give a tilted row, although I can't reproduce it, maybe you could just Z-rotate the whole view slightly counterclockwise after tiling. Z-rotation is done with the same mousemode as XY rotation except with cursor in the periphery of the graphics window (the non-central area).</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">If you have an example for which you are willing to share data and where tiling definitely fails to lay out the row horizontally, you can use menu: Help... Report a Bug and attach the data needed to reproduce it, and include a short description.<br class=""><br class="">I hope this helps,</div><div class="">Elaine<br class=""><div class="">-----<br class="">Elaine C.
