Drop group or component to surface below?
-
I believe SmartDrop will align the bottom to the surface: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=3474
But it also suffers from stopping at hidden entities. -
Well, nned to check out, thanks.
And the credits ("thanks...") also remind me to purchase Tavi's randor (and when I am at it, also his stereo) plugins...
-
randor and stereo plugins? what's this?
-
randor will randomly scale and rotate objects. Stereo creates two cameras slightly apart from each other so that you can export/render two images and combine them into those 3D images to be watched with those fancy red/green glasses.
-
is randor different from the random scale and rotate plugin Chris got?
-
I will check. -
Hm... Even Chris mentions randor here.
http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=139970#p139970anyway, I have downloaded and will check out...
-
hm.. I've not tried that one. Does it deal with hidden entities?
-
yes, it drops the component only to the next visible entity
.
-
Jim's Mover script drops components pretty well too.. (press CTRL)
. -
Also if the entity itself isn't hidden, but on a hidden layer?
-
no not in that case

I have been meaning to write a smart drop plugin too that drops to a specified group. I normally want to drop trees down onto a ground plane, and that ground plane is always in a group. So I've meant to write one that will let you select what to drop and then select a group to drop onto. Have not gotten around to it yet though.
And my rotate and scale multiple is essentially the same thing as randor. I was not aiming to re-write that plugin when I started it. I was just supposed to scale multiple components at the same time, based on each one's location. But then it kept evolving and turned into scaling and rotating randomly.
