# Same-Name Equal Distribution

Evenly distribute selected same-name components. Principle: keep first and last unchanged, distribute the middle evenly. Wall types are an exception — only distributed between parallel walls.

Commonly used for quickly evenly distributing wall spacing during floor plan drawing.

# Multi-Category Equal Distribution

Evenly distribute selected multi-category components. When linear elements (walls) are involved, distribution follows parallel wall spacing.

# Center Align

Center-align components.
