Re: Building Placement on Complex Terrain
Yea I agree scripting it would be a good way to go if you know what you're doing. If the huts are instances or clones, you could use the object paint tools.

http://myfacewhen.com/96/ In otherwords, "OMIGOD, that was sweet". It worked, quickly, and didn't crash or do anything crazy. It seems like some buildings were placed at different heights than others; not sure if that's a problem with pivots on my place or something to do with the scripts (I think most of the misplaced…
