      Why? Is there a point to this exercise?

      Hi! The reason is that I can't use "drop to terrain" plugins like DropGC and Raytracer. I select the groups and click the plugin but nothing happens.
      BUT if I explode and regroup them (one by one), everything works normally. I really dont know why...

      I'm with you, I can't figure out why this is so. But, since these are buildings, you wouldn't want them to conform to the surface like Pilou's SmartDrop demo. So something as simple as

      mod = Sketchup.active_model
      > sel = mod.selection
      > sel.grep(Sketchup;;Group){|g|
      >  t=mod.raytest([g.bounds.min,[0,0,-1]])[0]
      >  g.transform!(Geom;;Transformation.new(t-g.bounds.min)) if t
      > }
      > 
      

      This works on your groups whether they are exploded and regrouped or not.

      Select group(s), paste code into Ruby Console, press Enter.

      Hi, Sdmitch!
      Thaaaank you so muchh!! That's all what I needed!!

        Hi, Pilou!
        First of all, thank you so much for all support you are giving to me. πŸ˜„
        Yes, the groups states remain. Mystery!
        I've used Autocad Map 3d to generate those buildings with their proper heights attaching a shapefile. Before I export, I converted polygons to solids using -convtosolid command.
        Then I saved as .dwg to export those buildings to Sketchup.

          Even genious Sdmitch has find a solution for your problem πŸ‘
          taka a look to these architect tools by Thomthom!

          A suite of tools to help with imported DWG files aimed at Architecture
          Maybe there there are some tricky things nside!

              I believe that the problem comes from the export DXF from external program! πŸ˜„

                No the problem is that the transformation.origin is not over the "surface"
                ` name = Group#445
                origin = (-420.075838m, -663.573913m, 8.06m)
                x axis = [1.0,0.0,0.0]
                y axis = [0.0,1.0,0.0]
                z axis = [0.0,0.0,1.0]
                x,y,z = [-16538.41882347539,-26124.9572089176,317.32283464566945]

                name = Group#468
                origin = (-420.075838m, -663.573913m, 8.06m)
                x axis = [1.0,0.0,0.0]
                y axis = [0.0,1.0,0.0]
                z axis = [0.0,0.0,1.0]
                x,y,z = [-16538.41882347539,-26124.9572089176,317.32283464566945]` which is why the "Drop" fails. By exploding and regrouping the group, the transformation.orig is reset to bounds.min which is over the "surface".

                  -So that means I need to explode and regroup to reset them? Or there is another way to change their transformation.orig to bounds? Sorry, I didnt understand very well..

                        The problem is some groups being dropped on "top" of others already moved to the surface.

                        So to avoid that conflict, I have modified the previous code I posted.

                        mod = Sketchup.active_model
                        sel = mod.selection
                        gat = []
                        sel.grep(Sketchup;;Group){|g|
                         o = [g.bounds.center.x,g.bounds.center.y,g.bounds.min.z]
                         p = mod.raytest([o,[0,0,-1]])[0];
                         gat<<[g,Geom;;Transformation.new(p-g.bounds.min)] if p
                        }
                        gat.each{|g| g[0].transform!(g[1])}

                                Oops. My bad. I forgot to change the "origin" in the transformation. Code has been fixed.
