# Cluster Packing

If you have objects selected and click "Cluster" they'll be put into a Cluster without disturbing their position.

You can put clusters inside other clusters to create unique layouts

### Packing Style <a href="#h_01hb9q13711mc229wgw5e6z5yb" id="h_01hb9q13711mc229wgw5e6z5yb"></a>

There are 3 packing styles that determine how objects are placed inside the cluster:&#x20;

* **Vertical**: objects are placed top to bottom.&#x20;
* **Horizontal**: objects are placed left to right.
* **Grid**:  objects are placed in rows and columns to fit all content.

### Equal size objects <a href="#h_01hb9q13716vy5nf7ac5xhk9kd" id="h_01hb9q13716vy5nf7ac5xhk9kd"></a>

Enable "equal size objects" for all objects inside a cluster to have the same size. When cluster's size is changed all other objects will automatically adjust their size to fit the new parameters.

### Alignment <a href="#alignment" id="alignment"></a>

#### Set alignment on objects in a cluster <a href="#h_01hb9q1371dt11khb09enwn16q" id="h_01hb9q1371dt11khb09enwn16q"></a>

Control horizontal (left, center, right) and vertical (top, middle, bottom) alignment for objects in a cluster.

### Spacing  <a href="#h_01hb9q13716vy5nf7ac5xhk9kd" id="h_01hb9q13716vy5nf7ac5xhk9kd"></a>

Control the amount of space between objects in a cluster, or spread them out evenly within it.

If the cluster's packing style is set to vertical or horizontal, spacing between object applies vertically or horizontally, respectively. If you have the cluster's packing style set to grid, the specified gap will be applied both vertically and horizontally.

### Padding <a href="#padding" id="padding"></a>

Padding controls the distance from cluster's border to the objects inside it. You can either set uniform vertical and horizontal paddings or control all values separately (top, right, bottom, left)

### Scaling <a href="#resizing" id="resizing"></a>

Use the corner elements to scale the cluster along with the objects inside it.:
