I'm trying to make something like that but I have my own design.

Anyone here can help me make the selection into an object? or something that will make me align the object and snap it to object. Thank you.

I don't see what you call an "object"...

To align layers there is the Align tool. But that assumes that these layers are just big enough to contain the things you want to align (try Layer>Autocrop layer to obtain such a layer).

Oh yeah, I meant the second image. The petals are attached to the small circle at the middle. So I want it to snap to the middle of the circle.

How do you also make sure that the object turns into a box section which is the actual size? It was difficult since when I move the object it self like I was moving the entire layer and not just the object itself. That way I can make the petals align/snap properly.

Maybe this could be help you

Hi,

Snapping the rotation point of each petal at the centre requires that you re-position the pivot of the rotation tool for each layer of the petal. With guides on canvas will make work easier.

I actually saw what you were referring to at the 4 minute mark.

But I wonder how those object in the tut that Akros posted was made. Are those objects in the same layer or they each have their own layer? I'm puzzled because I end up moving the entire layer instead of just the objects themselves. TIA

I have always loved Jolie's tutorials, they are so thorough and easy to learn from.
