Light pen like feature

Ok, I've got this demo I'm trying to get together. Basically you just drop objects into the world and should then be able to draw on the terrain. Think like Madden and his light pen, only it would probably be best to do it on the terrain so it stays within the 3d environment. I'm thinking that the best way would be to rip out the terrain painting from the editor, but I'm not really sure where to begin there.

Another idea I had about how to do it all would be to just dumb down the editors some and only allow the end user the ability to do so much. If anyone has an idea on where to begin with this drawing feature I'd appreciate the help, or at least a push in the right direction. Oh yeah, the kicker is I've got about 2 weeks to do this.
