Hello,

I was wondering if there is any way that I can script an object to be placed at a set height??

Thanks

! 3D_script
CONSTANT_H=0.5 ! Set constant level=0.5m
ABS_Z=-1 ! COEF. In order not to depend on the level placement.
ADDZ ABS_Z*SYMB_POS_Z+CONSTANT_H
BLOCK A, B, ZZYZX
DEL 1

Thanks for the answer but I get an issue with the hotspots not being where they should be so if you could help with that it would be much appreciated.

The hotspots will need to be scripted between the ADDz and DEL lines so they move with the BLOCK.
