Hi Ferdinand,
Thank you for your answer. No, I'm no developer, and yes, I work for a business looking to automate still image production in the rendering pipeline - trying to reduce human error as much as possible, and speed up our process/volume. It's all about money in the end sadly. I was curious to know if something was possible to place an object automatically on the "shooting table" flat in a way that the place tool allows - we have automated every other step of our process and this is the only one left that is a challenge. This is a much bigger problem than I thought it was.
Thank you again for understanding I'm likely not a developer - it's frustrating when developpers always think everyone is like them, and it should evident our questions are ridiculous.
Markeee.
