Cluttering Surfaces?

Question

I've been watching speed builds on Youtube, and the builders often over clutter surfaces by placing the items, and then moving the desk/counter/etc out from under the items, adjusting their positions, and then replacing the surface. The items stay where they were, as opposed to moving with the surface like they do in my game. I've tried googling like crazy, and I can't find anything. I've even asked on the comments under the videos and haven't gotten a response. :( Does anyone know how to do this?

Also if they use objects not meant to be on a counter and/or table they usually adjust size by “shift + ” and then adjust height of item using numbers “0 or 9.” And usually if they use these cheats the item will stay in place when the counter/table is removed from underneath.

I think they use the move objects on cheat, because with that you just place anything on a spot but it’s not actually placed

I've tried that, as well as holding alt to keep things from snapping to the grid, but unfortunately they still snap to the surfaces :(
