Hi....new to the software here. :)  I am trying to place a vase on a shelf and I can't seem to do it. Either I can see the bottom of the vase...or it is hanging out in space (when I look at the 3D view) or it appears half way into the wall or thru the shelf. Any direction would be appreciated.

I use two camera views for this kind of action1. to place the vase in plan view (you usually have to use the "Control Key-CTRL Key) to left-click-select the vase then press the control key and then drag the vase object to where you want it to go. and 2.Use an interior elevation camera to get the vase's height location where it needs to be. using the control key as necessary. (The reason you use the control key is that symbols and certain other objects in the software environment are programmed to act as if they are "solid" and so bump into other solid objects in an area. You overcome that programming using the control key so you can then move the selected object freely.
