Hello. I accidentally lifted a body above the work plane. How do I set it back down onto the work plane? It seems like I can only tell the body is separated from the work plane when I go to slice it then discover that the body is not in contact with the work plane.

Hi,

You can create a construction plane on the base plane, and then use align tool to align the bottom face of the body to it.
