Is there a way without calling trace?
This works, anyway

I guess on a box is pretty acurate, but if you used a mesh, it could have a
alcove type thing, or a pit, where that wouldn't work, but then again that
isn't needed in my macro to randomly place hairs ( it's for a hair
simulation using sphere sweeps, I need the macro to find my first point)
Thanks

Thanks a bunch, this really helped
