Re: Question on Alignment 2: Orientation
I can't guarantee, that I used exactly the same positions as in the example, but they would appear to have been similar.

Re: Question on Alignment 2: Orientation
I get it, understand learn the default tools...
But, these examples are the reasons I use Manipulator. So, just to show the alternates.
Select a face, Ctrl-select another face click one icon. Done.
Want is flipped the other way, click a checkbox, then click the icon.
Align the normals, a checkbox, then click the icon.

Hi manos, greetings to the Community!
It is the oldest, safest and most stable method (not that the others are not) but unlike the others you learn to reason and understand "work plans" and 3D modeling (in the strict sense of the definition) by managing it appropriately "the virtual universe" regardless of the modeling software.
Here are some modeling examples whose sketches and bodies have been positioned in this way:
