Snap2Object Tool

 

Maxscript to align an Object to the face normal of a geometry object (Mesh, Poly, Patch or NURBS). Similar to AutoGrid, but for existing custom objects. Mousetracking function has been used as reference from Borislav Petrov, Martin Coven, Adrian Tysoe, Martin Breidt script. Special thanks to Martin Berisso for adding new features to the script.

History:

v1.1 :  Edited by Martin Berisso ([email protected])

Code cleaned, added the multiplier scale and offset rotation interfaces/code

Bugs fixed:It could be stopped by clicking the starting button thus never resetting the copied object to its starting position

v1: Added a new feature .. You can now snap in any object without having to select the target object. You can also specify a target object to snap with

 

Additional Info: 

v1.1 by Martin Berisso ([email protected])
