So, let’s say I have a completed model of person or whatever and I want this person to stand on a surface. Is there any way I can do this without having to zoom all the way in to make sure that the object is too far into the surface or too far above it? If anyone needs a visual representation of what I’m trying to do, I’ll upload a pic. Thanks!
There sure is a way to do this
Use the snapping tool for this! In the blend file that i attached, hit GKEY to move the cube then while moving hold down a CTRL key. This will snap the cube to the plane. You will find the snapping tools in the lower header of the 3D window.
Hope this helps

No problem! This actually fixed my problem too! (I needed someone to get me thinking :D) Glad I could help.
