: You need to snap the grid to your view, or it stays where it was, and you can only move things in referance to the grid. Hold down shift and push 2 - 6 for other veiws besides the top view.

: As far as moving objects with the mouse the grid must be facing you, either side will work.
I find it easier to place objects if I place them initially from the top/down view against the grid
to get correct alignment, then I go to a side view without changing the grid (now it looks edgewise)
and using the Ctrl-up/down keys to move it to the correct vertical placement in the level.
If you have a tall level with objects placed all over then set the initial grid to the floor/ceiling surface
closest to where you want to place the object (saves alot of time moving it vertically). This works the
same way with lights.
