Can you place a block on a tin surface and have the same z value as the surface elevation?

Hi all,

 

Basically right now I am placing a lot of tree blocks on a plan and they all need to be at a specific elevation. Currently I am placing the block, adding the spot elevation, then manually changing the z elevation under each properties to match the spot elevation.

 

Is there a way to quickly place the block so that wherever it lands on the tin surface, its z value matches the exact elevation at that point on the surface? 

 

I attached a pic for reference. 

 

Thanks!

There is a command _AeccMoveBlocksToSurface that will move all the instances of a block to the surface. So if you placed all the blocks and then ran the command it would move them all to the surface elevation.
