Hi Andras, do you maybe mean the Transform > Orient command?

There are some examples of it here:

Hi Michael,

It is very close, exactly what I am looking for is like this
http://www.scriptspot.com/sketchup/scripts/drop

So, vertically projected (moved) objects to a surface in one step. Command can allow more than one objects too?
(I will be able to test Orient later).

Hi Andras, yeah what you show there is a little bit different. I do not know of any existing script or command that will do that exact task in one single step.

If you build an array of vertical lines underneath your object, you can use the Construct > Curve > Intersect command to intersect the lines with the surface to obtain the point of intersection to snap on to when doing individual moves though. That would probably be the main way to approach it.

The orient command can work on any number of objects, but it moves all the objects as one set, from one base point to one target point, not using different base and target points for every separate object which looks like you want.

Right now you will have to use the Transform > Move command one time for every object in order to get the kind of result you want.
