Project Block on Linear

When blocks are positioned along a linear entity you can use that entity to place or replace the blocks. With 'Project Block on Linear' you can select the existing blocks and project those blocks on a linear entity you pick. You can decide if the blocks should be replaced or if the should be copied to their new position. The new position might also require a new angle. When you enable the alignment the command will determine a new rotation for the blocks.
