      I think you want something like the Flattery plugin: http://www.pumpkinpirate.info/flattery/

        Oh, I understand now. I have done something like this in the past and I will do it again in a couple of weeks.
        First thing to do is to create the shapes in only one plane and don't change the axes or don't rotate them inside the components. When you place it where you want just rotate it from outside.
        You will have to install Chris Fullmer's plugin Components onto faces.
        Then draw a rectangle, select that rectangle and select one of the shapes which has to be a component, then run the plugin Components onto each face. If you haven't change the initial shape axes, your shape will be aligned with the rectangle you have drawn. It is a tedious job, but it is a lot better than doing it manually.

              I knew it supports, I have done it in the past, but it was way more difficult than now.
              I will remember this next time because it is easier now.
              Thanks !

                    The code was posted somewhere here by sdmitch if I remember well.
                    I've just done a .rb file. Here it is.

                        Sorry, I don't have SU installed atm and I don't recall exactly how it works. Which is the difference? Maybe Box has something different?

                          Yours works only for one group/Component. And it would be nice to have them aligned and not having them stacked one over another.

                            Ah, ok. So the Box's one is something else.

                              How much is it worth to know what it is!!!

                              I'll have to remember where I got it from. From memory it was just a beta from Mattc, part of a full paper modelling plugin that he has never finished. It only works on groups and is a touch erratic. If I can find the thread where he posted it I will come back here.

                                  That's a nice search feature Rich, but it still needs to know what you are looking for.
                                  I found it using the normal advanced search.
                                  Not bad memory for a 3 year old thread.
                                  The code is in there and he added it as an .rb in the last post of the thread.

                                    Great ! Thanks !
                                    Now I need to figure it out how to make it work with components ! Or changing the components to groups.

                                      Thanks Rich for the search feature,
                                      the Ruby's script : " Group to XY plane " work perfectly.
                                      I'm on SU 8 ( not SU 6 than i thinking before, oups ).
