[Closed] Select random point on plane with maxscript

Hi everyone

I’d like to find a way to easily and automatically pick random points on a specific plane (e.g. a ground plane). Like this, I could create a scene with a background image and some geometrically consistent planes (like planes over the street and sidewalks), and then put objects on random locations on these planes.

Is there a way to do this?

I could probably find the coordinates of the plane corners and then generate points in between, but is there an easier way?

Also, if I add some objects on it afterwards, it would be nice if I could exclude all the covered points so that there would be no overlaps.

Thank you very much!
