Hello,is it possible to project a solid onto a surface from a given vector? Kinda like a shadow but just a straight projection? And the loft between the two? The vector is important because I would be doing it from underneath. Are there noses or packages for this kind of thing? Thanks!

Depends on the shape of the geometry. Get the normal at the surface midpoint as one method if you’re looking at cubes. If the Z value is ~1 or ~-1, it’s near the top. That or you can get a bounding box and find the surface(s) closest to the min point and max point. If your geometry is complicated y…
