      This is another test for v1.1
      groups, components, single slope
      components are in different x,y,z position, and in different x,y,z scale,
      it proves good with these items.
      now the plugin works when only 1 face was selected, I don't know if it is possible to do it on multi faces or curve face,
      maybe you have already worked on it, TIG.
      Sorry that I can't reply on time because the time difference...

        I have considered multiple faces and have a draft almost ready...

        I don't know why 'Bryce' fails - I suspect it's because the face was originally draw flat on the Z plane and then tilts up to 'face-me' ? I'll look at it...

        In passing: I've also got an early draft for a 'Stretch2Face' Ruby that takes works with groups and faces; the topmost vertices of any vertical faces in the group get moved up to snap onto the face(s) selected - that way you could easily stretch the top of a wall face up to the underside of a sloping or even curved roof ?

        Thanks for the feedback, any other ideas or problems please let me know... πŸ˜„

          yes I am looking forward for the multi_face version
          this script will be very efficiency while editing a big amount of components, and I think it is promising.
          thank you TIG for the excellent work!

                Hi All
                Didier's [Project_faces_vector.rb] will put selected face on inclined plane.
                Just draw a reference line vector in the direction wanted for projection path.

                    Great Plugin btw,
                    Just wondered if there are any developments of a version that takes into account a sloped surface instead of a flat plane?

                    Many thanks

                        TIG,

                        Tried and tested.

                        Works absolutely perfect! Many thanks this will be a great help.

                          At long last version v1.2 is now available.
                          Link: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=173374#p173374

                          It Scales any Selected Component-instances/Groups up in Z to Selected Faces above them. It works for curved Surfaces, but remember that it Scales to all Selected Faces... so if you select a horizontal cylinder its whole curved Face gets Selected (which is actually Face facets) and therefore it Scales to the lower [nearer] Faces and then the upper Faces - if you want to Scale to just the lower [nearer] Faces you must first switch on Hidden Geometry and them Select just the lower Face facets required and it then Scales things just to those...

                          Feedback please

                              Tig it doesn't work within groups 😒
                              And maybe clicking 3 points instead of face would be better solution?
                              Thank you (I mean it!)

                                Here's a Ruby that'll do it [please change the original post's title to [Plugin]...]

                                . scale2face.rb

                                Usage:
                                Select face(s) & group/component-instance(s) located below face(s).

                                Unacceptable selections produce error dialogs.

                                Pick 'Scale2Face' off the Plugins Menu
                                or type scale2face in the Ruby Console.

                                The selected items will be
                                scaled upwards [in the Z] until their CLs meet the face or faces.

                                Any intermediate faces etc are ignored; the scaling passes through them.

                                It has a one step un-do.

                                To Do: Alternative orientations to just the UP in Z.
                                E.G. down and in XY

                                Version: 1.0 20090717 First Release.
                                1.1 20090721 Tweaked to avoid height glitches.
                                1.2 20090811 Multi-face support added. Error msgs disabled.
                                1.3 20090819 Now works within groups/component edits.

                                Put in Plugins Folder...PayPalButton

                                      it would be awsome if the scaled face matched the shape/angle of the scaled to face. any plans?
