    Hello -

    I would like to be able to draw multiple objects on a horizontal plane then drop them down to a contoured surface. For example, I'd like to make a fence picket component, repeat it hundreds of times on a horizontal plane, select them all, then use a command or plug-in to drop them down to a contoured terrain.

    I tried the "Smartdrop" plugin, and it drops the objects to the terrain, but it also rotates the objects so they are perpendicular to the terrain.

    I found a tool on Smustard called DropGC that sounds like it would do the trick, but I'd rather use a tool from Sketchucation so I can update and track it using the Plugin Store / Manager.

    Thanks -

    Doug
