Hi,

i'm trying to place objects on a heightfield. The height is not a problem
with trace, but i want the objects to be rotated according to the surface
normal. I read in this NG that the Reorient_Trans-Macro could help, but i'm
not able to use it right, cause i'm not good at maths The objects are placed
all over the scene. So the question is:
How do i calculate the rotation?
Thank you for your help!

Daniel
