If someone is interested, can you make this one (in Python):
- Call the script via macro or keystroke
- if object wasn’t pre-selected, an option to select the object
- click on a planar face of the object
- that face lays flat on world plane
that’s it
whatever orientation that face happens to be in space is how it plops to Z=0
(as in, there’s no describing the plane using something like Orient3pt)
for example, say you select a surface with Auto CPlane turned on. Whatever that chooses for X,Y,Z can just keep X,Y point the same and just remaps to the regular cplane with Z being at zero.
just looking for a one-click deal to get an object laying flat with desired surface facing downwards.
thanks
