FREE CINEMA 4D PLUGIN
Drop To Floor 1.5
Ground your scene. In one click.
Drop To Floor is a one-click Cinema 4D plugin that takes any selected object or object hierarchy and drops its lowest point directly to the top of the workplane. Place scene elements accurately without objects intersecting the ground.
Work with polygons, primitives, generators, deformers and object hierarchies. Use the world floor, choose a custom floor object, or move an object’s axis to its lowest point.

Built for your workflow
A closer look.
Place objects and hierarchies on the workplane in one click.
ONE-CLICK PLACEMENT
On the floor.
Out of your way.
Select objects or entire hierarchies and click to place their lowest point on the world floor at Y=0. Process multiple selections in one operation without manually lining up each object.
Drop To Floor detects polygon objects, splines and evaluated caches, including deformed geometry. When both polygons and splines are present, polygon geometry takes priority.
One click
Multiple objects
Place selected objects on the world floor at Y=0.
CUSTOM FLOOR
Your surface.
Your starting point.
Make another surface your floor. Hold Alt + Shift and click the plugin icon to open the custom-floor dialog, then choose the floor object you want to use.
Select the objects to position and use the dialog’s Drop To Floor button to place them above that surface. This is useful when the floor of your scene is somewhere other than the world workplane.
Alt
Shift
Click
Use a chosen floor object as your placement surface.
AXIS TO FLOOR
Put the pivot
where it belongs.
Hold Shift and click to move an object or group’s axis to its lowest point. This makes it easier to place and scale scene elements from the ground.
For object hierarchies, nulls can move to the group bottom while their children remain visually in place. Keep your scene arrangement while giving the hierarchy a more useful pivot.

Click
Move the object or group axis to its lowest point.
