Hoi,
Hans,
i know what you mean, but, Emmanuel seems more likely to understand what i mean.
you could see it as an option:
mark a checkbox in preferences or import dialogs to "always drop/never stack" or something similar. the key feature has to be that the lowest possible height must be the real object surface!
the situation now is, afaik, the object being moved is stacked on top op the nearest bounding box, which could be, lets say, a group of furniture.
what i need is, the object to be placed must drop as far as possible on top of the very real surface of the underlying object.
please have a look at the following example:
when i move the round table shown below, it mostly ends up flying 80cm above floorlevel caused by the nearby handrail construction which is (only by its bounding box) surrounding the table.
so, i this case, i have to check the (messed up) z-position and change it (again, and again after moving it and so on).
second example:
when you look at my new gallery post, there is a bathroom scene i just finished (!!), where all the shampoo bottles had to be placed on top of an object, which was very tricky, i can tell. so, if i just could "drop" them - i really would like it!
