      Hi all,

      This is a little request in order to complete the existing Drop plugin.

      Issues of this plugin are well-known :

      • drop on hidden entities
      • interferences between dropped components

      Is there a way to modify the Drop plugin to add an option to Drop on a specified surface, in order that the plugin ignores all the other entities ?

      If someone already know a workaround to avoid thoses issues, I'm Listening !

      Thanks in advance.

        Raytracer ignores hidden entities: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=30509

        I was thinking of doing a target surface thing - but the current version works well when you just hide the other geometry.
        (Note that SU8 has a problem with it's raytracing method - so all the plugins that does this might act a little unpredictable in some cases.)

          Hi Thomthom,

          Did not see the new features of your Raytracer plugin...or I missed them since the beginning 😳
          I'll give it a try, thanks !!

          Cheers.

            How about Chris Fullmers Component onto Face plugin?

            It does not exactly "drop" a component, but it places a copy of a component on the center of each selected face.

            ...

            edit: on hidden faces it works as well!
