Align Right Edges: Layers are moved horizontally so their right edges line up with the rightmost
layer in the selection.

Align Top Edges: Layers are moved vertically so their tops line up with the topmost layer in
the selection.

Align Bottom Edges: Layers are moved vertically so their bottoms line up with the bottommost
layer in the selection.

Align Far Edges: Layers are moved in Z space so their far edges line up with the furthest layer in
the selection.

Align Near Edges: Layers are moved in Z space so their near edges line up with the closest layer
in the selection.

Align Horizontal Centers: Layers are moved horizontally so their centers line up along the center
point between the leftmost and rightmost layers in the selection.

Align Vertical Centers: Layers are moved vertically so their centers line up along the center point
between the topmost and bottommost layers in the selection.

Align Depth Centers: Layers are moved in Z space so their centers line up along the center point
between the farthest and nearest layers in the selection.

Distribute Lefts: Layers are moved horizontally so the left sides of all layers are evenly
distributed, from right to left, between the leftmost and rightmost layers in the selection.

Distribute Rights: Layers are moved horizontally so the right sides of all layers are evenly
distributed, from right to left, between the leftmost and rightmost layers in the selection.

Distribute Tops: Layers are moved vertically so the tops of all layers are evenly distributed, from
top to bottom, between the topmost and bottommost layers in the selection.

Distribute Bottoms: Layers are moved vertically so the bottoms of all layers are evenly
distributed, from top to bottom, between the topmost and bottommost layers in the selection.

Distribute Far: Layers are moved in Z space so the far edges of all layers are evenly distributed
along the Z axis, from closest to furthest, between the closest and furthest layers in
the selection.

Distribute Near: Layers are moved in Z space so the near edges of all layers are evenly
distributed along the Z axis, from closest to furthest, between the closest and furthest layers in
the selection.

Distribute Horizontal Centers: Layers are moved horizontally so the centers of all layers
are evenly distributed, from left to right, between the leftmost and rightmost layers in
the selection.

Distribute Vertical Centers: Layers are moved vertically so the centers of all layers are evenly
distributed, from top to bottom, between the topmost and bottommost layers in the selection.

Distribute Depth Centers: Layers are moved in Z space so the centers of all layers are evenly
distributed, from closest to furthest, between the closest and furthest layers in the selection.
