Overlaying furniture on rugs

[gah2dantz]

I would like to place an area rug under a table, but the best I can do is put it beside the table. How do I get underneath?

Hold down the Control button while dragging the rug where you want it. It may look like it's on top of the table, but in 3D view it will be correct.

Control-Drag works for any item that won't move where you want it to using the normal method.

Every object has a height to it. Most area rugs have a height of 19 mm by default. If you want to place it under a table for example you must change the floor to bottom height of your table from 0 to 19 mm to elevate it and place you rug underneath it just like you would with a piece of furniture in your own home.

To avoid what Kathleen mentioned about it looking like the rug is on top of the table in 2D, I would start out by placing the rug first, then the table and hold down the control key to move it into place.
