Hi Kim.

Snap to Surface was indeed introduced in v17.

Our forum Search is inoperative at the moment but there are discussions of Snap to Surface somewhere here.

I would be curious to know where you heard "a lot" about Snap to Surface.  I can't imagine it.

It's fairly simple.

In a Choreography, import a prop. Create a new model and place it in the cho. With it selected, go to model mode (the little yellow guy icon) and click the snap-to-surface button. Use the add control point to click somewhere on the prop and you will begin modeling with your CPs sticking to the surface of the prop.
