When you're in object editing, you wanna deactivate "grid" (it's orange) on the left side of the screen. That will make things smoother. You'd wanna keep it on if you're trying to make things exact distances apart and the such.

This is actually one thing I do know. (As you can see I'm a noob in modding.) Select your object, then hold the c key. You should see a blue, green, and a red line. While still holding the c key, either hold the left mouse button to go left and right, or the right mouse button to go up and down (assuming you are looking north). Also, you can hold the middle mouse button to move it up and down. To rotate an already placed object, hold the z key. Holding the left mouse button rotates it forwards and backwards, and the right rotates it from side to side (also assuming if you are looking north). Holding the middle mouse button spins it around. Just situate your object until you get the desired angle and location.

Hope this helped!

pressing "g" keyboard will actually drop them automatically to ground level. However, it's better to do it the way abyss mentioned, because pressing g doesnt get the object perfectly level with the ground for some objects.

All of this and more is explained in the zeroeditor guide that came in the mod tools documentation folder. So we probably shouldn't be needing to explain this to you :roll:
