Allow Library Part "Parking Lot" to follow sloped terrain (not just horizontal placement)

[IPO]

Currently, the "Parking Lot" Library Part can only be placed horizontally and does not tilt or adapt to sloped terrain. It would be very useful if the Parking Lot object could follow the slope of the site/terrain, similar to how some other objects can be inclined, instead of being restricted to a flat, horizontal orientation. This would make it much more practical for sites with sloped grading.

Are you talking about the Parking Places object found under "Object Library => Visualization => Site Improvements => Park and Street"? It does have an option to slope along the horizontal OR vertical axis, but not BOTH at the same time which is probably what you would want most of the time...

Thanks for the pointer! I wasn't aware of that option, as I've been using a different library object, "Parkeerplaatsen KM", which doesn't offer any slope setting at all. The reason I've stuck with it is that its 2D plan representation has much clearer contours than the built-in Parking Places object.

That said, being able to slope along at least one axis is already a big improvement over what I have now, so I'm considering switching to the Parking Places object. And as you say, sloping along both axes at the same time would be the ideal solution, since real site grading rarely follows just one direction. So I'd still like to keep this as a wish for the object.

Thanks again for the input!

I think ArchiCAD should have a physics-based gravity option - where any object placed drops onto and self-orients to follow the slope geometry of any surface below.   This effect remains active when objects are subsequently moved or rotated, or the surface is altered (updates may not be live, to save on CPU time, but a recalculate button could do a pass through the project to trigger updating of gravitationally linked objects and surfaces)
