align to surface?

[sv]

we've got a scene with hundreds and hundreds of proxie's in, and the ground slopes down from one end of the site to the other by three meters.

We originally modelled it all flat, so trees etc could just be aligned to the top surface. now the model has been changed to include this slope, all the trees etc are floating in the air.

is there any tools you know of to align an object to the nearest face, or the immediate surface below the object.

Doing an align to won't work as the min, max and centre points aren't where the ground should be.

anyone know of a quick fix for this?

Thanks in advance.

Take a look at the planter script in Blur's Script Pack

If that doesnt work select the first tree which isnt aligned, click the move button, and drag the tree down to desired position...hit select...and choose the 2nd tree, move, drag...select...move..drag...

Just kidding, im bored.
