Arranging items on a floor

[DaveMDarcy]

Hello,

How can I arrange various objects in scene and have them stay on the floor rather than go through it? This is just for still scenes not animations. I've tried attaching rigid body tags (as I thought that's what they're for) but when I arrange things, the object still pass through each other and the floor.

Kind Regards
David

Hi David,

Perhaps use the Place Tool

Please have a look here:

But perhaps dive a little bit deeper with these two Quick Tips:
