Align Object's face/srf to another Surface?

Rhino

Does rhino has a command for aligning an object to a surface, like in blender or add a snap point like in sketchup?

See clip: https://youtube.com/shorts/HP4UPkLj5lE

I know orient3pt but it’s tedious…

Basically I want a fast method to align green cilinder on the grey sloped surface.

I think there is a command called OrientOnSrf. You need to read the help in order to know how to use it. Should get the job done.—-Mark

Thank you!

Ive also found a way with command: RemapCPlane

If the OrientOnSrf command is effective for placing objects at a desired position on a curved surface as shown in the example video, then OrientByFace from byRhinoGadget is useful for placing objects repeatedly across multiple surfaces, as shown in the example image. If it suits your purpose, it might be worth giving it a try. byRhinoGadget is a free plugin and can be downloaded and installed from Food4Rhino or the PackageManager.

Thank you! This is exactly what i was searching for.

My only concern is why is this not included in the offical rhino already? @brian
