      Yup, its correct. It shows up in the right click menu. So place all your plants up in the air above your terrain, select them all (or do it in chunks is some times safer) and then right click on one and choose drop at intersection. Good luck,

          Here's a few suggestions:

          • Make sure they are all actually over the top of the terrain.
          • They will get stopped by hidden geometry and I think even layers that are turned off.
          • Try selecting those that did not drop and keep running the script on them. There is a good chance that many of them will drop the 2nd or 3rd time.

          Maybe something there will help?
