# Place to Surface

Place object to surface

You can easily attach an object onto the surface of another object.

## Step 1 - Open Menu

* Press the **Surface** button to open the menu.

## Step 3 - Place to Surface

* **Surface option**
  * **Collider** To detect the surface, you can use a Collider. You can also use LayerMask to only use the colliders of the desired layer.
  * **Height** This is used to position an object at a specific height. It is useful when a specific collider is not set.
* **Align Option**
  * **Auto Attach Collider** This option automatically attaches a Collider component to the object to be positioned and detects the surface to attach it to. If the object already has a Collider attached, this option will be ignored. If a Collider is not used, the object will be positioned based on its pivot point.
  * **Move/Normal/Upward** After moving, set the orientation of the object.
    * **Move** option does not change the object's direction even after movement.&#x20;
    * **Normal** option rotates the object to align its collider face with the surface's collider face.&#x20;
    * **Upward** option sets the upward direction of the object and rotates it to align its bottom face with the surface.
  * **Place to Ground** Attaches the object to the surface in the direction of the surface normal.
  * **Place to Camera Direction** Place the object facing towards the camera.
  * **Place to Mouse point** Place the object at the position of the mouse every time the right mouse button is clicked.
    * In this case, if the left shift button is pressed, a copy of the object is created.
    * **Switch to Clone** Object selection is moved to a duplicate.

## Step 4 - Check the results

* Make sure you get the result you want.&#x20;
