Move surface to a plane

Hi,

I want to move the surfaces I've made to the xy plane (to print and cut later) but I can't figure it out. The surfaces move but in the same original rotation.

Can someone help me with this?

I'm guessing that you create your reference plane from the centroid of your area (or something similar) This isn't a plane and will be assigned an XY plane at this location by default. You need to get a plane that represents the orientation of your faces. A simple way to do this is to pass the surface into a PLANE Param and it should convert it. You may need to change the origin with [Plane Origin] component found in Vector>Plane

Master!

The PLANE para worked perfectly, then I used ORIENT to move it where I wanted. Since there aren't a lot of pieces I can rotate/move manually to print later. Thanks a lot!
