      What's that drop tool that drops components onto a face but keeps the component vertical?

      edit* I have 'smartdrop' but it does not keep components vertical.

          No, I need to drop 2x4's along a terrain path, but they need to be straight up and not perpendicular to face.

            I'm starting to wonder if indeed there is such a ruby, I'm sure there was one, but I'm getting old and cannot remember.
            It should work like 'drop at intersection' but stay vertical.

                Like this, right? That's the plugin I linked to above....shows up as 'Drop at Intersection' in right-click menu after selecting components...

                    Yes, I'm afraid I suffer from this conditional also. 😲 😒

                    I need the same plugin right now as well! Been thinking about how to do it all evening...but I have the "Google SketchUp for Site Design" book here....right lets see......hmm...the 'stamp tool'?......?

                                      Thanks guys, After every new version of SU comes out I load ruby's as I need them and finding them can be difficult if you are an idiot like me and deleted SU 7 and all its files including ruby folder.

                                            One issue...

                                            It drops right, but if you make a mistake and try to use undo, it undoes one at a tome, now if you have 200 poles it's a problem.
