Align object to planetary normal?

[Floating.Point]

Heya guys,
I need to align in imported object so that it is perpendicular to the planet...
Im hoping this is somehow possible!?

What would be great (as a feature request) would be a way to "copy normal rotation"
Kind of like the right click -> copy slope Angle... but instead it would copy the rotation values in universe space.

Hey guys,
apologies for bumping this one-
dont get me wrong, I understand there is not a way to align object populations to a slope... (unfortunately)

All I need is to somehow ascertain world space rotation values for a given normal on the planet sphere.
i cant get my head around a way to work this out...

Perhaps I am not explaining myself properly, or should this topic be posted in a different subforum? (Terragen 2 Support perhaps?)

To better articulate my issue, see the below image, I just need my object to be perpendicular to the planet like this:



Any support with this would be greatly appreciated

If its just the one object the best bet would be to move the model in your modelling package to its correct position.

Making a satellit, or just a sphere covered with antennas ?

Thanks that's a workable solution! albeit a bit of a hassle! Thanks!


...No that planetannae example was unrelated to my project.
I am attempting a bit of a SciFi scene with "space bridges" and huge ports connected to the planet
