================================================================================

Installation

================================================================================

The zip package is found at the bottom of this page

unzip it in your daz content folder,

typically :

C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\DAZ 3D\Studio\My Library

once installed, it will appear in your content library, under

The Daz Script will be found in My Library / Scripts / mcasual

Starting with Windows 7 if you right click on the downloaded zip file

and select the [Extract All ....] pop-up menu item

you simply browse up to your Daz Studio Content Folder

and the files will fall in the proper folder

================================================================================

Use

================================================================================

select the object you want to move followed by the object you want to throw it upon

launch the script

select the axis (world ) you want to work on

select the units

most often you will want to leave "Dist." be 0

pressing the minmax button will move the 1st selected object's minimum corner to the maximum corner of the 2nd object

If you select only one object then you will have the option of changing the world coordinates of that object

and

the option to resize that object

this may look like a simple affair but when the object is rotated , it's less evident to do this using studio
